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

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.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

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.

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.

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.
