Default Would anyone like some cowpeas?

I ordered a few varieties of cowpea from Baker Creek and have been pleasantly suprised as to how many of each I got! I don't have room for them all, so would be happy to post a few off to anyone interested in having a go. They'd probably need starting off in a g/h or warmish place.

More info here:

Cowpeas Heirloom Seeds - Rareseeds.com Catalog

If you fancy a particular type listed on that site, let me know cos I might have it! Otherwise I'm happy to send a (labelled) mixture.

I don't need anything in return but if you want to pop a few pence into the next charity box you see, that would be good

Hi Seahorse

I've been looking at their website and it looks very interesting. What's the service like with them - have to say that the two seed companies I've picked up through the Google adverts on here have b een excellent and just thought this one looked very good.

They were great Tony. I emailed them just after I'd ordered cos I thought I'd made a mistake with part of it (I hadn't!) and got a very quick personal reply. The seeds arrived within about a fortnight and they're pretty generous amounts for the prices. I'll definitely buy from them again.

I've sent the cowpeas out today folks, so you should have them soon

I'm really looking forward to seeing whether any of us are successful with them!
