I'm trying to add a picture of my pigley pigeon pea to the plant database, but I'm doing it wrong. This is what I have entered:![]() Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |
I'm assuming "pigley" is part of the common name not a cultivar name. If so, the plant is already in the database here: Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan) IF "pigley" is a cultivar of pigeon peas, you would need to add it like this: Primary common name: Pigeon Pea Accepted botanical name(Genus species): Cajanus cajan Cultivar: Pigley |

I think that Baker Creek used the made up name 'Pigley' to make the seeds sound cute. Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

Can you describe the taste of pigeon peas, Greene? I'm hoping they aren't like black eyed peas. Cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education (mark twain) |

My favorite vegetable is broccoli. Second favorite is homestyle baked beans with brown sugar and molasses, mmmmm, good. Apologies to people who actually like black eyed peas, but I have never eaten a black eyed pea so don't know what they taste like. Sorry, I don't like to eat Pigeon Peas; I only like to grow them. ![]() ![]() Some people prepare the Pigeon Peas (in the pods) like Edamame...another thing I don't care for, but maybe with enough salt.?? ![]() Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

I agree with greene, I think "Pigley" Pigeon Peas is probably just a common name used by Baker Creek Nursery and I bet if you e-mailed them they would tell you if it's a cultivar or a common name. It's been awhile but I had Pigeon Peas with some kind of rice dish a long time ago when vacationing in the Bahamas (at least I think they were Pigeon Peas) and they didn't taste at all like Black Eyed Peas, but I don't remember them tasting like lima beans either. It's been so long though that I don't remember really how to describe the taste. I love both Black Eyed Peas and Lima Beans but I don't cook either of them very often because my husband doesn't like them and it's too much trouble to cook them just for one. ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

"Some people prepare the Pigeon Peas (in the pods) like Edamame...another thing I don't care for, but maybe with enough salt.??"
