Keep in mind when planting that Black crowder is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors.
These peas are not particular about soil or sowing method. They can be broadcasted and they will grow. Can be transplanted to where you want them to grow.
As Black crowder is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
When the pods start turning yellow it is time to harvest.
