Neutral	Farmerdill	On Dec 10, 2003, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: This is a small blackeye pea; it has a bushy vine with good topset and very easy to pick. Peas are good eating, used to be served widely in Morrison cafeterias. For home or fresh use, without mechanical shellers, the peas are just too small and tedious to shell. A similar variety is Princess Anne.
