It seems like it is getting harder and harder to find zipper peas seed how would you go about saving seed for future planting’s?


I am drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. Thank you Lord

My Grandmother would leave them on the vine until they started to dry out. Then she would pick them and dry them inside. When completely dry they peas were shelled and then planted the next spring. Wasn't hard and she always had peas.

What fishduck said. I left about a 60’ row to dry for seed. I also got 2 full gallons of dried black eyes and got a bunch of purple hulls, Texas cream 40s and Mississippi cream peas drying on the plants now.

My Grandmother's peas were passed down from her great great grandmother.

Point being: if you like your current crop of peas then continuing to use them for seed is possible indefinitely.

Yep, or you can soak em overnight and cook em up.

I just finished packaging a few dried black eyes. We have plenty of meals or plenty of seed. Whichever we want. Still have lots to pick and shell. [Linked Image]

Marshmud, I sure would have liked to have had a pack of them a couple months ago. I couldnt find any black eyed pea seed anywhere.

Put them dried in big onion sack or croker sack and beat them with a stick or broom. Pour them into a wash tub in front of a strong fan. Seeds fall down and shells blow on by.

Marsh wouldn't the seed need to breath? If eating them it wouldn't matter but I thought viable seed needed at least a little air.

That’s a very good question and way above my pay grade. All I can tell you is I’ve sealed seed before and put them in the freezer from one spring to the next and they germinated fine when I planted them. Guess it’s time to do a little research.
Google says that vacuum sealing seed in a plastic bag is the ultimate way to preserve seed. Seeds store this way have shown to be viable for up to 10yrs. It says to just keep them in a cool dry place. That’s our learning session for today. thumbup

That is how they store them in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
