Dude that's cool I did the same thing about three years ago with a salad mix blend. They where 3 Oz packets for 1.59 I bought all the remaining packets they had, 4 packs. I threw them out in spring figuring whatever made it a season would resprout. Long story short one of the varieties in the mix was chickory. It's been growing back for going on 4 seasons.. pretty cool. Throw them out and see what happens.
4 season, wow! Yes I love finding those things that just do well in my space. I could either fight trying to grow other stuff, or focus more energy on the things that grow easily
I did buy a start of very expensive Mississippi pink eyed purple hull peas but I`ve grown a Louisiana brand of store bought black eyed peas and they did very well. You can allow some you grow to dry for future seeds.They`re all heirloom as far as I know. Test them...soak them in water for a day and put them in a ziplock bag with a paper towel. If they sprout you have a cheap source of seeds. The young pods are delicious snapped and mixed with freshly shelled ones. Leaves are also edible I`m told like sweet potatoes. Add some chopped onion or flakes, a bit or garlic, and minced raw smoked bacon for fat and flavor. Add some olive oil too. I like using seasoning salt with mine and I sometimes add a few young okra pods. In the South we eat these with cornbread.
@@eatthecanvas I`m gonna study your videos in preparation for laying out my garden plans. I`ve vowed to quit depending on stores for a while and I`ve been prepping like crazy. I moved to a rural lot in a 2005 5th wheel camper last August and put a roof over it and have bought more and more solar parts each month for an off grid system for emergency power for my small air conditioner, freezer, dorm fridge, and simple cooking. Been eating a lot of sardines to get it finished. Crazy weather like rain rain rain...then no rain at all...and then flooding again, stopped me from growing anything until I planted a Winter garden in mid November when rain returned. Then six days below freezing with below zero wind chill in Louisiana in December wiped everything out except two buttercrunch lettuce seedlings. I don`t know why they survived? What I do in Fall/Winter is direct sow mustard, beets, radish, turnips, collards, spinach, etc right onto the lawn right before a slow rain after mowing is done for the year and usually that produces enough extra greens for me to have fresh food in Winter and I leave the super plants growing when mowing resumes (Or move them) to let them make new seeds. I want to grow some sugar snap peas but this weather has me paranoid. And somebody`s goats wiped out my last nice garden. They thought I planted it just for them and seemed shocked when I flipped out.
@@baneverything5580 I’ve definitely been trying to depend less and less on stores as well though I don’t completely have the land for that as of yet lol. I am for the idea of keeping the seeds of anything that survives through any harsh weather events when other things die. Seems like they are built a little stronger. That goat situation is unfortunate and I would have definitely been upset too!
Great job. Thanks. I have a jar of black eyed peas I've been waiting to plant. Another video said they had to be soaked overnight and covered first but your method seems to also work. And it's easier. ❤
Thanks and would say it depends on how much moisture you get. It rains often where I am and if the soil can stay moist, there really is no need to soak first. When that’s not the case though, it’s a good idea to soak so those roots can get a head start when planted
Very informative video... I want to try planting Black eyed peas very soon, it is one of my favourite foods. This video was very helpful. Definitely subscribing. Keep up the good work.
I honestly have been focusing more on in ground growing as of lately to build my soil up more. I am sure there are other videos that focus much more on pot growing though I did have success using an organic potting soil from a brand called Kellogg’s. It came with the nutrients and minerals most plants need to grow and it was all I needed to grow herbs and greens to maturity. I will be doing more on that soon though as I am kind of running out of ground space for plants. Have you run into some issues growing or just looking to get even better?
@@eatthecanvas No, I have found tons of success in the pots. I am not an expert by any means so I am always looking for advice and watching videos. I live in a desert so keeping water around is a must but some things haven't grown well here. Thanks for responding!
Ah, yes I tried some of them a few times before including the purslane growing everywhere and wild amaranth as well. I have made it a point to explore and learn more, which causes me to see things differently. Love it!
Indoor growing is not something I am super knowledgeable of though I have been doing it more and more. I have not tried it with beans though, especially a vining type bean but I'd imagine as long as something can get enough nutrients, air, water and "light", and root space for things that really need it, it should be able to work.
Yea they love whenever I have tried to grow corn too lol. Corn is the Only thing I try to grow that ants and aphids completely flood every time. By the time I remember to put the borax mix out it’s already too late and the plant is on its way to dying.
