BY THE WAY DO YOU HAVE OR ARRANGE ANY INGA SEEDS? [/quote] Have you ever shipped a plant? I'm not sure what to do. I think two weeks in the mail would be too long. [/quote] YES MABY... AND JABOTICABA SEEDS DO YOU HAVE THEM? [/quote] I think he starts his from cuttings but he did say that his tree(at his house) would start blooming in september. He showed me one blossom but said it was too early. I could ask him to save the seeds. If mine blooms I will send you some of course. It may not bloom this year. [/quote] maby cuttings in very wet tissue on plastic... [/quote] I bet we can! He told me his friend sends him scions from the Bahamas. I'll call my brother. [/quote] Geeezzzz i don't have words to thank you... people like you are very very rare!!! :hugs: [/quote] Ok I have some bad news. After some research I found I can't ship plants because I'm not a registered nursery. Plus expensive permits are needed. Let me see if I can find someone to help us. My brother has lots of contacts for plants. [/quote]

Pigeon peas are an easy way to add to your food security. Pigeon peas are a staple food that provide good protein. Not only are they delicious, they are prolific and easy to grow. Although it is a subtropical plant, it can be grown as an annual in colder climates. It proudces pods with edible peas in eight months and grows 12 ft within a year.
But there's more. This is a nitrogen fixing plant. It improves the soil. It can be used as a cover crop or planted near fruit trees . The branches are used for mulch or can be fed to livestock. Chickens can eat the green peas. (Or cooked peas of course) .
