{"product_id":"tyler-cowpea-pole","title":"Tyler Cowpea (pole)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA new-ish cowpea variety released in 2010 by the Agricultural Research Service branch of USDA. This variety has a very vigorous and indeterminate growth habit and like most cowpeas, is recommended for use as a cover crop. The new strains are from improved selections of older landrace varieties for rapid growth, high biomass production, long vegetative growth period, and southern root knot nematode resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe grew these up the stalks of Dudley Family Heirloom Corn in the summer of 2019 at The Family Organic Garden and they were indeed vigorous and productive. It was almost a mistake on our timing as the peas wanted to take over the corn rather than co-exist! But we harvested the corn just in time to let the peas take over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \"Tyler\" selection has long pods filled with beautiful tan-colored brown seed, similar to Iron \u0026amp; Clay. Young green and tender pods can be eaten similar to a green bean, or let them grow longer for edible seed, saving some to grow next year. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Working Food Seed \u0026 Merch Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304251740349,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/1734\/5725\/files\/Tyler_Cowpea.jpg?v=1776457857","url":"https:\/\/workingfoodseeds.org\/products\/tyler-cowpea-pole","provider":"Working Food ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
