Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
This is the largest southern pea that I have grown. Large fat pods are easy to pick and shell. It is also one of the better flavored of the brown crowder types. More starchy than than blackeyes or white peas. Very vigorous, with very good yields.
