- Today we're planting our favorite variety of peas -- Zipper Cream Peas. Although these are our favorites, they're also the most difficult for us to grow. Zipper peas are notorious for being vulnerable to insect damage by the infamous pea curculio.
Join us as we tell you the differences in the types of field peas (or cowpeas) and show you how we plant them on double rows. We'll also tell you what we plan on doing about that rascal pea curculio!

Never even tasted a field pea except for the wonderful black-eyed type. You've earned a pass on the Sevin. In this sorry world, I find your videos to be a welcome antidote. You seem to be talking about Southern gardening, but a lot more than that comes through. Family, hard work, integrity, love of the land, plus so much more. We thank you.

Preciate that Mark! Always good to see you here.
Yes Sir Mark I agree I really Love this channel. Travis and his family are some real fine people. I love how the boys get after it when they help in the garden. Just a real clean fun channel to watch.
Thank you for all you do. I love all field peas. I thank you for making me a better gardener. First time I’m proud of all my veggies coming up. You explain everything in detail and that really helps. I all most feel guilty for learning for free…I will be happy to pay for your knowledge. Just let us know how to be able to repay your kindness.
Just keep watching and don't keep us a secret. That's all we ask. Glad you're enjoying the content!
I like the White Acre peas best, but they are all good. Thanks to your video I found some knuckle hull peas to plant and try this year. Thanks Travis.
Hope you enjoy those Knuckle Hulls! They're pretty tasty!
You’ve done great lately explaining every part of what you’re doing. Us novices appreciate it!
Thanks so much Sara!
I'm about three or four weeks behind your planting schedule up here in the midlands of South Carolina Travis. I always try to learn something when I come to your channel and I usually do. Keep doing what your doing. There's this plant called Comfrey. Bees love it.
Glad you're enjoying the videos!
People have told me that the mulberries are one of the easiest things to propagate. You should have no problem at all.
I had a high percentage of success when I propagated my mulberries. The only problem was, they were off of a male plant. Therefore, they would never fruit.
I was thinking today to ask you if it was time to plant southern peas in Zine 8… And if we could double row them. You answered both my questions in this video, thanks 😊
Zippers are my favorite too.
alan
Hope you have a great crop of peas this year Alan! Good to see you here!
Can’t please everyone. I love me some peas. I think it is a southern thing. Have several bags in my freezer. I planted pintos for the first time this year. Can’t wait. Great video.
It's definitely a southern thing. Folks pay big money for bags of shelled peas around here in the summer months.
Master Gardener in Tallahassee. Easy Peasy to grow mulberry trees. Just take tip cuttings 6-8” long, remove lower leaves and the soft tip, and stick in the ground where you have part shade. Or pot up 4-5 cuttings in a tall tree pot and put in the green house. Either way you will have success.
Thanks for the info!
Travis, the Professor of Gardening, each time you put out a video I read so many comments about people learning from you. LDF is easily the most informative and instructional channel for gardeners. Thank you for all you do my friend.
I have never grew or ate field peas, but this year I’ll be growing white acre peas. Not sure how they taste, or which group you discussed they belong to?
White acre would be a cream pea. It's a great one! Hope they do well for you.
White acre peas are my very favorite! I’ll be growing them this year in NW Georgia for the first time, along with my first planting of sweet corn. Wish me luck!!
Love black eyed peas and all field peas. They are delicious, cheap and cook more quickly than many dried peas and beans.
Correct!
Wonderful vid with great details on “all things peas”. Thanks for all the work you put in to making these videos, and thanks for sharing your gardening knowledge with your fans!
Glad you like them!
Southern born and raised and you just taught me the growing differences in peas! I'm glad to hear there's an alternative to stuggling for those 5 little english pea pods/day after planting a million, thank you!
Great to hear! If you live in the south, you'll have much better luck with field peas as opposed to English peas.
When we used to visit my Grandma in Tampa on the way back home to Jax my mom would stop somewhere and get a bushel of field peas and we would shuck them on the way home. I have no idea what variety just field peas lol. Thanks for the memory. I may try to grow a few since I have completely missed spring planting.
Field peas won't mind the heat at all. Go for it!
Love zipper peas..... Bushnell Florida !
Enuff inspiration for me to try to grow my own this year. We love Lady peas but they are SO expensive at the markets, it's almost a special treat to have them. Blessings from Linda, zone 8a, middle Georgia.
Hope you have a bountiful harvest Linda!
Every year my Sweet Peas get eggs laid in them that result in holes in saved seed where these little black flying bugs hatch out. I saved a container of peas that was sealed and it was filled with dead bugs since they couldn't get out. I bought some seeds from Migardener with your link recently that I would have waited to buy if not for that discount.
Thanks for using our affiliate link!
Purple hull peas are all we ever grew in Southern Oklahoma!
Love’em!! Thank you for taking time to educate us about the field peas. I did not know about the other varieties! I’ll be investigating for our garden planting soon:)
You bet! Lots of different varieties to try!
I have a variety called Purple Hull Brown Crowder that has been in my family for 4-5 generations. I grow them each year to keep them going. Brown Crowders can be found in seed stores, but not this particular varity. They are hardy, have a wood / earthy taste and we absolutely love them. (We consider them a family heirloom). Beyond these, my other favorite is Acre Peas. Love your channel.
Sounds like a winner! Thanks for joining us Ronnie!
Travis you are a 100% natural on camera pal my God you guys pull off some PERFECT productions it's SO EASY to listen to you man the flow of the show is just unparalleled...I things most of the LDF fam would agree I don't know how you guys haven't hit a million subs and 10 million views YET! Keep up the good work brother we love ya'll and many blessings🤙🇺🇸🇷🇺🙏
Thanks Joe!
Love zipper cream peas, but black eyed peas are my favorite.
Nothing wrong with that. They're all good!
@@LazyDogFarm I grew some cream peas years ago, and found several plants that produced a smaller pod. Like about 6 inches long, very straight pod, and the peas were much smaller. I know I saved some of those seed. Mainly because I wanted to find out what they were. Lol Because they definitely would take ALOT of them to make a mess of peas.
Seems like Husband's granny called them lady peas when I asked her.
Here in the north, never had a zipper pea, but can’t wait to try them next time I am in Georgia
Got to!
Yep. I absolutely love field peas! Grew up on them. (If I had to choose between English peas and field peas, field peas hands down.) I prefer the pale pink-eye light colored pea rather than the crowder.💗
We like the pinkeyes a little better than the crowders too.

Thanks Josette!
With some eggs, some grits, some oatmeal, a ham once in a while, you can just about live on field peas over rice. Spaghetti sauce with meat every now and then helps. And a yard full of chickens. Paid the family doctor with chicken dinners when I was a kid.
Hard to beat some field peas and ham!
Oh my! We love Butter Peas, Pink-Eye Purple Hulls, Lady Peas, and Zipper Cream. Soooo yummy!
All great choices!
After watching you I will plant some peas for the pods. I grew up in Kenya (Africa) and we grew the cowpeas for the leaves, I have continued to do the same while here. Will now start harvesting the pods to eat
Hope they do well for you Alice!
Man I’m so jealous of your hard work you’ve been able to get in. We just got snow here today.
Hopefully that stuff will melt soon and you can get in the garden and play!
As always a good garden video. It's time to show off the girls Travis, I'm curious to see how well they grew up on the clover.
I'm going to be digging taters in a few weeks. My Yukon golds were about 12 inches high but froze completely when we had that big freeze and I had to replant. I couldn't find any good seed potatoes that wasn't real expensive so I bought some red potatoes from the grocery store and some punny golds on Etsy and have huge healthy plants. I'm hoping to have some nice big potatoes soon.
The girls are doing great. Been getting 6 eggs a day (1 per girl) on a regular basis the last two weeks.
Travis, growing up, we never had stung peas. But, my Pappy didn't grow them like we do now. He would pick his plot, till it and hand broadcast the seeds. Everyone waited for the call- the peas are ready. You had that day to haul your buckets in and weed through the forest of peas and pick. That was it, once everyone had their buckets, he tilled it all in and then planted the regular garden behind it.
Smart way to do it. He never let the pest eggs accumulate that way.
My parents have been planting peas for years. Never knew about using inoculant. Zipper is my family’s favorite too. They also complain about poor germination sometimes. Good info. You’ve inspired me to start my own TH-cam channel.
Awesome! We wish you lots of success with your new YT endeavor!
Thanks for this explanation. I’m learning what and how to grow in Texas and your videos are a great resource. I get the feeling you have some higher education in agriculture? If not, you sure have a lot of high level knowledge and I appreciate you sharing it!!
Field peas should do great in Texas! I have a couple degrees in biology, but no real higher education in agriculture. There are some parallels there though.
Hi ,regards from Portugal .
The clime here are similar to your zone ,i start my cultur of peas in the dezember and already start to colect them .
For me favorite peas are rondo .
Hello from across the pond Jose!
Mississippi Purple Hull Peas can't be beat!
Good job "T" very informative! TY
Our pleasure!
I am going to try some of these. Morgan County Seed is in my area!! Thanks for the great videos.
Mine didn't germinate very well -- just an FYI. Not sure if that was my fault or the seed.
We love field peas and have grown a lot over the years. Our favorites are the crowders, love the nutty flavor, oooo we like the Red Rippers. I NEVER use any nitrogen fertilizer on southern peas. It’s an invitation for insect pressure. We do get some curculio but like y’all we just freeze the peas and enjoy em anyway. For those who do not till or use chemicals, if you inoculate the peas once the bacteria should be there. I haven’t found it necessary to inoculate again, and when I pull some plants for inspection the nodules are there. Keep up the good work!
True about inoculating once. With 10 plots I have a hard time remembering if a plot has been inoculated in the past or not. So I play it safe and use it anyways. lol
Any Pinkeye pea is my favorite. Thanks for the video. Good info
Yes, I have propagated Mulberry...and have propagated every tree I have which is fig, peach, apple, pear, and cherry trees...using almost the same method as Leadfarmer77 uses. He calls it the chili dog method, and I tried it last year on some double Rose of Sharon bushes..they did fine. However, I use old plastic water bottles instead of zip lock bags and have done so successfully for years...I am guessing I have close to a 90% success rate and have done many over the years.
Thanks for sharing!
Cowpeas is what got me to start my first garden in 2009. Zipper cream are my favorite but I tried red ripper last year and wow they are prolific. Guess I am so fortunate here in Arkansas cause I haven’t ever had pest pressure on my cowpeas! Can’t grow much squash though cause of those evil vine borers. Hope you have a bountiful harvest of those delicious peas!!
We don't really have issues with vine borers. Guess that's a fair trade-off. Those Red Rippers are very prolific and quite tasty!
I'm with you on the red ripper. I grew them the first time last summer. And they are already in and a foot tall. Can't wait to get a fresh pot cooking.
I have struggled with propagating mulberry trees. We have white and red growing in the wild here.
First year with field peas last year and I’m hooked. We really like the zipper
Awesome!
Love my field peas!! Plant them every year! Pinkeye purple hulls and cream 40 is my favorite but I also plant black eye and zipper peas! Love sitting on the porch with a glass of sweet tea and shell a basket of peas!
All good ones!
That was very good, thanks.
Our pleasure!
I planted a Mulberry from Stark Bros last fall. Now I can't wait until it fruits. I usually plant blackeyed peas. Tried pinkeye peas last year and were more pest ridden than you can imagine. I lost the whole crop. Back to blackeyed peas this year. I am in North Texas zone 8a. Leaf footed bugs, squash bugs and stink bug are my biggest battles.
Leaf footed bugs and squash bugs are bad here when the summer heat gets here. Those two are mainly the reason we pull our tomatoes and squash in mid-July.
I love field peas, my favorite are Texas Cream 40. I haven't been successful growing them yet. This year I'm growing with pink eye purple hull. Enjoy watching your videos.
Cream 40s are delicious! Hope the pinkeyes do well for you.
This man knows his peas.
Try trimming the mulberry tree and putting compost around the tree ..
Thanks, for another GREAT video.
Thanks for watching!
here in nc in zone 8a we grow dixie lees peas. We can get three crops in most years.
I could probably get three crops if I planned everything just right. But the pest pressure gets really bad in summer which keeps us from doing so.
I love crowder peas
So good!
Love some peas. Our favorites are Lady Fingers and White Acre. They’re an old school type. Hard to keep pests off of, hard to shell because they’re so small but they are really tasty!
Those small ones are sooo good! But a pain to shell like you mentioned.
I remember you talking about Brooklyn's grandma saying she did not want any stung/stinged peas. And she was pleasantly surprised that you all had not brought any unpleasant peas for your holiday event. Y'all take care. BTW a friend of my husband's stopped by today and couldn't believe that our garlic was even up. The tops make me believe that we are doing something good. We're still hardening off out tomatoes. But, I'll have to say 100% germ rate on the Giant Crimson. We actually have 10. Can't wait to see everyone else's plants.
We have a small tomato already on one of our Giant Crimson plants. We got very good germination on ours as well.
My family in Climax always had field peas (I think Texas Cream 40) and they are by far my favorite “veggie”. I’ve tried growing them but haven’t much luck with them.
Ole Climax ... I love riding through there and stopping at Jones Meat store to get some fresh sausage.
Love cowpeas all kinds. The pest we have here for ours is aphids. We use 7 dust but I like to find something more natural. Any ideas? We usually get about 2-3 pickings. The last ones we picked if there's any young ones still not fully developed we still pick them and those to the bag like green beans. Love your videos. So informative.
I hate using Seven too, I only use on cucumbers 🥒 right after transplanting them out. otherwise something eats them ..it's the only thing that seems to save my cuke plants.
Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes!
I like the pink eyes
Thanks for that. I’m looking forward to seeing the peanuts go in too.
Coming on Wednesday's video ...
I am trying peas this year. I have never really been a fan of "field peas". The ones we ate were small dark brown peas, so I figured I would try some purple hull this year.
Sounds like you maybe had crowder peas. Try pinkeyes or cream peas as they're a little milder.
I Love Field peas!!! Especially purple Hull. So yummy!
Yes!
Last year I propagated some cuttings, just stuck them in a pot of soil. They rooted and were covered in fruit this year. Since they were small I was able to put them in the greenhouse, but my huge tree was hit by the frost 3 times and lost leaves and fruit each time!
Thanks for sharing Angela. I'm gonna give it a try!
I have grown a couple types of field peas in the last year, always have a problem with aphids. one season they were so bad I had to use seven to get rid of them completely. Also we had some peas that were stung up, but didn’t worry about them too much they tasted just fine lol
My mango tree does the same thing great harvest for a few years, and weather conditions or high winds take harvest down and notch but comes back strong the following year.
The aphids will go crazy on them if you aren't careful. They'll cover the plant so it just looks black instead of green.
I have rooted several Red Mulberry limbs from a very productive old tree over the years. I cut new growth limbs (8 to 20 inches long) from the tree I want to clone and dip in root hormone. I push the dipped end into deep rooting bags filled with damp soil. I let them root and stay in the bag for about a year before planting. I usually have about 60% success rate.
Thanks for sharing. That's how I was planning on doing it.
my family love cream zipper, purple hull peas but not so much the crowder peas they also like Lady finger peas but they are small and hard to shell another good show
Lady finger peas are great, but tough to shell like you mentioned. Seems like it takes forever to shell a bowl of those.
Purple hull, yeah buddy! I grow about 5 different types of
cow/field peas I also grow pintos and butter beans. I havent had any issues growing them. Our Peaches get zapped every other year with a late hard frost/freeze! This year's gonna be a good peach year
Gotta love fresh peaches! We'll easily drive 30 minutes to get some peach ice cream in the summer down here.
The plum curculio is a pain too. I am struggling to get any peaches.
Zipper Cream is my go to. Have you done a video on how you seal up the bags? My Mom uses ziplock.
We use a Food Saver that we bought many years ago. One of the best investments we've ever made. Seems like last year we showed how we blanche them and put them in the bags, but can't remember which video it was.
I recently found your channel and have been binge watching. You share so much great information. I am fairly new to growing peas and beans. I struggle with knowing when they are ready to harvest. Actually there are a lot of vegetables I struggle with knowing when they are ready to harvest. Is there anyway you could show newbies like me when something is ready to harvest? It sure would be appreciated.
It's tough to do a single video on that subject, but as we harvest things in the garden I do try to provide the harvest signs. Thanks for the suggestion and I'll try to be more diligent in explaining that kind of stuff.
I live in Missouri. I bought cow peas to use as a cover crop for fall. I assumed they would be a good nitrogen fixer but maybe I need to rethink when to plant them...
Might want to plant them in late summer so they can get a good jump.
@@LazyDogFarm I will ty!
Travis, with the sound of those chain saws in the background, I had a "Red Green Show" flashback (that probably predates you by a bit). Not a complaint, just thought it was funny to hear them and it made me smile! Zipper peas and White Acre peas are wonderful. Our current garden is too small to get much of a harvest so I don't grow them. But I remember many an evening sitting round in a circle with the relatives at my grandparents farm shelling them when I was much younger.
Must have been cutting some timber back behind our land. I didn't notice at the time, but will have to rewatch and see what it was.
Love this ❤️
I was Born & raised in Louisiana. This is my first year planting several plots of zipper cream peas. My usual favorite is pink eye purple hull! But someone told me zipper cream peas were better 😳
Unfortunately, it’s been about two weeks since I plant them and I haven’t seen a single pea germinate 😨 I wish I had heavily seeded them, now! However, if you’re close to me, I have more scuppernong seedlings than I can bear! I’m literally giving them away to friends and family! They’re very closely related to muscadine’s, only they’re a lighter color variety.
So, if you’re close, I would be more than happy to share some seedlings with you! #HappyFarming! ❤
1st! LOL. Wish I had your acreage!! Love how informative your videos are to help us "grow" our garden knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it Beth!
I have a number of Mulberry Trees... that I propagated all from one limb... I went to a buddy's house, cut a pretty good size limb (maybe 3 inches across), took it home... got out my post hole diggers and dug the deepest hole I could possibly dig... cut back the smaller limbs just enough to get it in the hole... watered the dirt back into the hole, cut back all but a few leaves at the top of my new tree... put a water hose at the base and just let it drip (didn't have drip back in the day)... it was like Jack and the Beanstalk... in 5 years my mulberry tree was 40 feet tall... it was crazy. I hadn't planned well on where to put it next to my garden, (had no idea it would get that large)... so I cut it down... yep took a chainsaw to it... and planted 4 or five more from various limbs... every year now I cut off a couple limbs and increase the herd so to speak... But I top them all every year at whatever I can reach from a 6ft step ladder every year... No more 40 ft Mulberry Tree's for me. They are extremely easy to propagate... don't get the white juice on you... it burns. I do love me a batch of mulberry wine... thinking of popping the cork on one just now! :) Our flagship wine here on the homestead is "Elder Blue"... from our Elderberries and Blueberries. But the Mulberry wine is almost just as fine.
Sounds like a plan. Although I actually enjoy the shade of the taller tree.
Travis maybe you could try some soft wood cuttings now for your mulberry tree, and then again in the winter time for hard wood cuttings, worth a try the worst will be the soft woods don't do anything, (but they may take off running) or your hardwood cutting will grow, so either way it maybe a win, win.....? Sorry your crop wont be as big this year, but at least you will have some even though a small crop.
You are a wealth of knowledge with your gardening tips etc., thank you for sharing with us!
Awesome Travis!
Thanks PJ D! Good idea on the mulberry cuttings.
This year I’m planting shell peas. My high temperature for summer is around 75 degrees
Dang that sounds like an amazing temperature for summer. Much better than our high 90s.
I found the Texas Cream peas, My new favorite.
That's a mighty fine variety!
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
So funny..have to share..i come from northern farmers..about 8 generations of homesteading farmers..but when I told my mother I planted cow peas n was ready to can up a few quarts she said WHAT when did you get cows. that's stock feed😆 field peas field corn etc.grand grew Acres to off set livestock feed..too funny. I like cow peas Crowder are the favorite.oh and my amish ancestors? We eat cabbage n pork for luck.i think black eyed peas are truly southern.thx for the info.
That is funny, and not the first time I've heard stories like that. Glad you're a cowpea fan!
Black-eyed peas. Yum!
Travis… search Jan Doolin mulberry. She’s the “go to” in central Florida for mulberry cuttings and propagates many varieties. I’m confident she can answer your questions regarding mulberry propagation.
Thanks for the tip!
Good Evening Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, question I live in zone 3b-4a they changed our zoning this year I'm in the Northwoods of Wisconsin when I was a young man there was a lot of field peas grown up here, is there a cream pea that can be grown in my zones and what field peas hold up well in my neck of the woods. Keep up the great channel.
My mulberry tree was bearing nicely. THEN 3 strong wind/rain storms came through and wiped it clean. I only picked about 3 quarts before that happened. UGH. My pink eye purple hulls are up about 6 inches tall already. I'll also be planting some Top Pick for the first time here shortly. And I'm trying to figure out if I have any room for some red rippers....I do love them!
You can always wait until mid summer and plant the red rippers as a dual purpose cover crop and food crop. They do great as a cover crop for us.
I love them Mississippi big boy purple hull , and cream 40
Those are good ones for sure!
I like the collossal crowder peas. Grew up on them.
Those are good!
The cursed curculio! I’ve resorted to hand picking them before! Also I’ve found a late summer / early fall crop didn’t seem quite as affected by these.
I tried a late summer crop last year and they were bad for us. Maybe I was a little too soon and should wait until early fall.
Thanks for a very informative video, as always. My favorite cowpea is also zipper cream but it takes up so much room with it's vining habit. Do you know of any "bush" cowpeas you can recommend?
I would consider zipper cream a bush habit pea, whereas something like red ripper is a climbing or vining pea. They all take a good bit of space, but there are others that vine much more than the zippers.
Hubby and I love black-eyed peas 😋
Us too, especially with some smoked ham!
Your putting out great useful,helpful vids
Do you use enoculant in your bean plots
And what do you like to use for furtalizer and feeding
Yes we do use inoculant when planting the peas. But I usually don't fertilize peas.
Been growing Black-Eyed Peas originally from a grocery store bag, and Pink-Eye Purple Hull and Blue Goose Crowder from heirloom sellers for a few years now and save seeds every year. Each year they seem to produce better, but that might be due to my selecting only the pods with the largest number of seeds to save, usually 10+ per pod and the genetic lines getting used to the climate and soil conditions here. Not sure if it's scientific, or if that's what really happening, but that's what I'm telling myself. Unfortunately, my suburban backyard is not very large, and I'm only able to grow about 5 pounds of shelled cowpeas (dried) each year while growing all sorts of other vegetables. When I first tasted the Blue Goose Crowder peas and realized they had a nutty flavor, I tossed in some onions and Andouille sausage and that's now my preferred recipe for that variety.
Onions and sausage are great with crowder peas! Sounds like you might be on to something with your locally-adapted cultivar.
Late spring/summer is the time to propagate mulberry. The ones I did at that time last year were like 95% successful. The ones this past fall/winter were closer to 20%.
I needed that! Thanks.
@@LazyDogFarm no problem. I ended up air layering most of them, but even just took branches and stuck them into the ground and they seem to be putting on new grow growth this year.
The window punch guy.
Great video! Mulberry trees up here are a nuisance. They come up everywhere just apparently from bird droppings. Fence rows, ditches, flower beds, in the fields, you name it they are there. Birds bomb your vehicles. They don't have much flavor here either. You have to put more sugar in than berries.
Surprisingly, ours has never volunteered itself.
I stopped in the middle of the video and ordered some cream peas and then watched the rest of the video not knowing about the pest problem. I will plant some and see what happens and I will make sure to watch the whole video before buying seeds from now on… Thanks
That pea pest isn't an issue everywhere. So you may not have the problems that we do.
I love pinkeye purple bull and lady finger peas
Those lady finger peas are sooo good, but a pain to shell. lol
check out edge of nowhere farm in az. they have great success with air layering the mulberries
Thanks for the lead Kenneth!
Same thing happened to my mulberry tree this year. ☹
That stinks. Good thing is that it usually doesn't happen in consecutive years, so next year should be better.
Didn't get time to go through the research on my current place for field peas so my innaugeral grow will be a pound bag of black eyed peas to see how the go here. I'll have to check the local master gardener recommendations for the county.
If you can grow blackeye peas, you should be able to grow some of these other varieties I mentioned.
@@LazyDogFarm Who is your zipper supplier again, everyone from Hoss to you name it seems to carry them. I wonder if they are all sourcing the same supplier.
@@LazyDogFarm FYI, the master gardeners only listed Texas Pinkeyes as their recommendation.
@@pd8559 I got mine from Morgan County Seeds online because they were the only vendor that had them at the time I was online buying seeds. I do know that there are only a few field pea suppliers in the US. So maybe not everyone is getting them from the same place, but many companies are likely using the same sources.
Like yours my peas were always terribly stung, and like you I'm loath to use the Sevin. I may try again this year if I can find a place. Sad about the failed mulberry crop, especially since the jelly was such a hit. Maybe it's time to plant another tree of a different variety.
I wish I knew the name of the variety we have.
I guarantee this is a weird weather spell we have been having. Also related to weather, there’s a lot of sun flares and other stuff that messes with the weather.
Crowder Peas
I planted my Zippers and Purple Hulls peas late (after the corn made)
They are 18" + tall and beautiful, in spite of the 100+ heat wave we're in.
I've held off spraying them because I didn't want to burn them if they were too young to spray.
I need to spray now, I'm sure.
Should I use BB Zero or BB 2...?
I don't want any stinkin' Curculios!
And... should I use some LiquaCop, and if so, how much?
Can I mix LC and BB together in the same spray?
It's hot but dry right now
Thanks, Trav!
Big Buster O isn’t going to do anything on pea weevils. BB2 might, but I’d go stronger than that.
Stronger = Sevin?
Sevin didn't work for me this year, but that's probably because they changed the active ingredient. You need something with carbaryl in it. Bifenthrin is another option if you want to knock them on their tail.
I'm zone 8 NW FL and the same thing happens to my mulberry.
It stinks, but it's not a surprise.
