Cowpeas!

This year I planted some 'Ozark Razorback' cowpeas. I didn't think they were going to make it through an aphid infestation in July, but they have put on quite a lot of peas anyway. The Gnomeslayer was fascinated by cowpeas, and wanted to help me shell them. I have never seen anything keep her attention for so long. There was something almost magical about pulling open the pods and having bright red and white cowpeas inside. :)
