Cowpeas, also known as southern peas or black-eyed peas, thrive with several compatible companion plants. Corn offers structural support, which is especially helpful for vining varieties of cowpeas. Planting squash nearby can provide shade and reduce weed growth while conserving moisture. Additionally, cowpeas have a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria that fix nitrogen, benefiting neighboring plants like tomatoes and peppers. These companion plants create a harmonious garden ecosystem, promoting the growth and overall garden health of cowpeas and their neighbors.More
Just grew ‘1884’ this year for the first time, and it is now on my top 5 heirlooms list, and that is saying something because I grew over 75 varieties of heirlooms this year. Just one plant produced so many tomatoes I could not even believe it. They were huge, heavy, beautifully blocky, and most of all, DELICIOUS! I wish I would have kept track of how many tomatoes the one plant produced. At the end of the season I was kicking myself for not keeping track because I think the number would have been pretty incredible. This is going on my “grow every year” list.
I bought my daughter and son-in-law a beautiful hand-made wooden salad bowl from New Hampshire for Christmas. I tried to make a nice package gift, so I bought lettuce seeds from Thresh and various vinegars and oils to put inside the salad bowl. I know they will love it! My daughter is quite the gardener and we are always looking for interesting varieties of all kinds of veggies. It's a good site for seeds and they came quickly with tracking and follow-up. I will order again.
Good germination rate, I planted 9 cells of seed and 7/9 germinated with beautiful fruits this year. Thank you for the great growing season this year! ;)
I purchased the seeds to plant this coming spring. I have done a lot of research on sorghum and am so excited to plant this. They had a good variety of different types and I will be planting a couple of them. I hope my family along with the bees, chickens, and cows will absolutely love it.
I planted 50 and all 50 turned into beautiful plants. The SVB have gotten more than we have but we have harvested some beautiful pumpkins!! I will definitely order more!! I love this company! The seeds come super fast and the photography on the website is done absolutely beautifully!
They sent me what I order. I called for info on seeds. They were easy to contact and extremely nice to talk too. I received a lot of tips to produce more and better. Im going to continue to buy my seeds from thresh seed co.
I planted these seeds the first week of June in zone 6b. I think nearly every single one took. I pinched them back, and then they took off. It’s a great variety of single or multi-layers, some even pop up more red. They’ve been so fun to cut for vases, highly recommend.
