| I grew this variety for the first time summer of 2008 and will grow it again. It produces great with little attention and the taste is excellent. If you like a crowder that makes a dark 'gravy' when cooked you'll love this one. |

| This is a very nice large black crowder. As a green shell, it makes a black soup. As one recipient put it. "you have any more of those peas that make thier own gravy". Tastewise, it is a good change of pace, but I prefer blackeyes or white peas most of the time. |
