I like the old timey black crowders but have not been able to find any in years.
Makes my fingers sore just looking at them! Spent many an hour in my youth, sitting at the table with my grandmother shelling purple hulls.
Love any kind of peas.

I picked 4 bushels of Imperial purple hull peas last week, then shelled all except a dish pan full. Debbie shelled them. My hands were black. My fingers and thumbs were numb. It took me 3 days to shell them. Then almost a full day to blanch and divide up into pints and quarts. I got 37 1/4 quarts off of them. Now the kids want to go pick them some.
I picked a few hand fulls of creme peas, shelled and cooked them down with some cornbread. I didn't care for them.
This makes about 22 quarts we have put up this year. Should put some more but I dunno if I'll get to or not.

I drove out to this guy's field. All I could see was black. The peas were dried. Had to hunt hard for fresh ones, but could have picked a few truck loads of dried ones. I've never messed with dried peas except to save as seeds. And the store bought ones.
I have Top Crop peas here in the garden. They are a pink hull, pink eye peas. They taste as good as purple hulls but don't stain your hands. I have 17 qts. of them in the freezer, the kids have had 1 picking each and the deer get their share.
We will be picking butter beans this weekend.
