The Black history of food. "Cowpea is a gem gifted to the world by thousands of African farmers and gardeners who selected genetics over millennia for myriad forms of this incredible crop resource..." The variety of cowpea seeds I have are called whippoorwill and according to Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, "This crop came from Africa through forced migration and was later cultivated by enslaved Black people at Monticello." https://codycovefarm.com/cowpea-a-diverse-group-of-florida-friendly-super-beans/ #Florida #gardening #Zone10
