When to pick Black Eye Peas
How do I tell when black eye peas are ready to be picked?
when the pods are full and begin to show the outline of the peas. pick one and shell to judge.
They may be picked fresh or allowed to dry in shell. Picking most fresh and freezing or canning will give you the largest yield. Once the pods 'go to seed', the plant stops producing as much, since its goal has been reached.
