Black eyed peas

So looking ahead to next year on my food plots I am going to do peas. Now as I was looking I noticed the price to be around $2.50-$3 lb. So when I was in Walmart I noticed a bag of black eyed peas in grocery and it got me thinking would these work for a food plot??? At over half the price it has me thinking. Any thoughts on if this would work? Or has anyone tried it and what results did they get?? I am going to buy a bag 2day to plant just to see if I can get them to germinate but they won't have time to grow.

 

I remember starting them in 4th grade. Can't recall if they produced many pods but they did grow well.

 

I would think they should. But I would test a handful out before I committed to planting a whole bunch. Get the Dixie cups out.

 

Well I planted 100 and I only had 1 grew so it’s not worth trying on a lager scale.

 

Proper pea seed can be bought for a bit over $1 a pound.
