- BLACK EYED PEAS ARE HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO WEEVIL DAMAGE. IN THIS VIDEO I TELL YOU HOW TO PREVENT WEEVIL DAMAGE TO YOUR BLACK EYED, PURPLE HULL OR OTHER FIELD PEAS.
You scared me😲🤣. You started out saying folks this is going to be my last video. Oh my goodness!! I love love love learning from you! 😊
Perhaps I should have started it out a little different. I have been meaning to finish up talking about Black Eyed peas and now I have. I have other videos I want to make and I will get working on them. Thank you for watching my videos.

We were worried too!!!
I was thinking the same thing

Today I am a grandmother and I still remember that my grandmother had no freezers but to store beans and not grow the larvae she would put pepper and bay leaves along with the beans and I don't remember seeing larvae in the beans she kept.
When I buy beans from the farm and not from the stores, I still do the same and I can have the beans on the shelf, in jars for 3 or 4 years, I've never had problems and, to use them I wash the beans that are always perfect.
What is admirable is how in the old days, people could find processes to solve problems, nowadays people want other people to solve their problems. Although not yet many, fortunately some young people are beginning to realize the importance of old knowledge.
Yes, times have changed. I am 80 years old and well remember those days. Thank you for watching my videos.

I’m not sure if this works because I haven’t done it but I saw it on another CZcams channel......this gal said her grandma used to put broken pieces of china in her flour to keep bugs out and weevils from hatching. 🤷🏼♀️ This gal buys odd pieces of china at thrift stores, wraps them in an old towel, breaks into large chunks, smooths the edge with sandpaper, wash and dries good and then stores in her dry goods.
AOG, have you heard of this ?
I live in the north and it’s freezing cold outside shortly after harvest to I store stuff in the garage or outside but it has to be protected from other critters then ......everything wants our food 🤣
You can also dry can the peas to kill the Weevils. I pack then into pint jars, set them in a pan put into a 180 to 200 degree oven for 60 mins. I put the lids in a pan and place them into the oven for the last 15 mins. When they come out i put the lids on them and set aside. They will seal 😀Thanks Old Alabama hardener for sharing your knowledge.
Yes, the suggestion you offer is another way to preserve and store these peas and other beans.

I’m growing my first pink eye purple hull cow peas at age 54 in 2024. I’d like to dry them and store them in glass jars for cooking in future months or years. Or also to sow for future crops. I’ll be watching all of your videos. God bless you and your family. Vicki in California.

Hello Robert. I hope you are doing well this morning. And of course you know I am happy to share my gardening experience with you. I appreciate you watching and commenting on my videos.
C.
Really glad you clarified "my last video". When I buy flour and corn meal I always put them in my freezer for a couple of weeks and sometimes even longer. That started after I went to get some flour from my canister and found it full of bugs/weevils. Since then I never put flour in a canister but instead keep it in my fridge. ewww Thanks for the black eyed peas infor Sir. Love your channel. 😊 😊
Thank you for watching my channel. And for your comment.

I'm always telling everyone who asks me how my garden is so beautiful it's all because of OAG. I wish you could see pics. You'd be proud.
Thank you for this presentation. I admire your thorough guidelines and thoughtfulness. I subscribed when you were working with Dr . Ford Brewer on his channel. You have set a fine example for me to follow, sir.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. If you are following Dr. Brewer, how is your health?
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener thoughtful of you to ask. I have been working out a treatment for atrial fibrillation through exercise, weight loss and control, lower carbohydrate consumption (less than 100 grams per day) and supplemental magnesium glycinate (200mg twice daily) and ensuring that I consume enough potassium and not too much calcium. I'm fairly tall at 6'2" and am maintaining 210 lbs. down from 265 lbs. at 63 y.o. I haven't gone full keto yet because I haven't found a ketone meter. Statins or lisinopril didn't set well with me. So, anyway, I'm doing better. Rarely notice any fibrillation anymore and looking to lose 5 or 10 more pounds. You are looking pretty healthy and active. How have you been doing?
Kenny Charles: I am doing well. I am 80 years old and as you see working in the garden every day. I went on a very low carb eating and lost 55 pounds. I am now down to 145 pounds. During the winter (when I am not busy in my garden) I will make some videos on my health and what I am doing to maintain and improve my health. If you would like more information on what I am doing, put your E-mail address here, I will copy it and then remove it.

I live in Monrovia, Madison County, AL and have been growing field peas as a second crop after spring harvest for seven years and haven't found any weevil damage to my peas and I don't poison them at all.
After shelling and before cooking, my wife looks through the peas for signs of weevils and she hasn't found any either.
I grew up on Sand Mountain and we had weevils in beans, corn, peas, peaches, apples and cotton.
Thank for the information. I think my peas shower so much damage this year because it was so hot and dry as they were maturing. I am in the same county, north end.

Great video. Have you kept information about how many peas you planted and how many were harvested (buckets picked, pounds shelled, etc.)? I really enjoy your channel.
I didn't keep that kind of records, would be interesting to have that kind of data. Thanks you for watching my videos.
OAG
good information thank you
Truthful information.
Yes.
Good advise on killing the pests .
Thanks
I enjoy your videos. This is good logic.
Thank you. The same logic applies to corn, when the worm tries to eat the modern day corn, it kills the worm. So, if eating the corn kills the worm, why would we want to eat the corn. Thanks for watching my videos.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with how you shell died black eyed peas. If, while still in your 5 gallon plastic bucket, you get a clean wood 2x4 and crush the peas, still in the shell, most of them will be shelled. That will save you a bunch of time however you will for sure have all of the "worm damaged" ones included. For me, when I add water to wash them prior to cooking, most - if not all, of the worm and weevil damaged peas will float to the top.
That sounds like it would work. Actually I like shelling beans or peas. It reminds me of my old family days of shelling different beans and peas.
OAG
Enjoyed the video, one question. Would vacuum sealing the bags help any with the weevil/egg problem? Plan on growing some next summer.
I don't think vacuum sealing would make any difference. It is the egg that hatches and becomes the weevil. Freezing is one sure way to kill the egg. Heating in an oven might work but I don't know what it would do to the peas. Thanks for asking that question.
OAG
In storing my dried peas, beans etc. I rarely see weevil damage.
I've seen videos where such beans are cooked in canning jars dry. The result are peas that will supposedly store for 30 years.
Can't see the point myself.
You are right. I freeze my peas as an added precaution. Years ago when I didn't have freezer, I just stored them as dry peas. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe to my channel.
OAG
Agreed Peter. Seems like that would kill nutrients in the peas. Harsh.
OAG, Do you eat the blackeye peas green? I like'em both ways. I usually freeze my seeds
anyway. Didn't know about killing the weevil eggs thou. Thank you so much for the video.
Yes, I like Black Eyed peas as you say green. I call that the shell out stage or mature but still plump. I appreciate you watching my videos.

I’m wondering if you could take the ones with worm bites and use them as planting seeds
Interesting question. And I don't know if that will work or not. Next spring, when I am ready to plant again, I will give it a try. Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
We soak them overnight and give to the chickens.
I have planted them, as long they still the embryo still intact. Not very good for eating. Good question.

If you freeze the peas, can you still plant them for next season's crop? 💝☀🌵
Yes, freezing the peas doesn't keep them from sprouting when you plant them next spring. I will keep them in the freezer for at least two weeks and remove them. We will eat some and save some for seeds next year. Thank you for watching my videos. Subscribe if you haven't already.

Thanks for sharing. Do you know who sells organic blackeye peas? After you freeze them how do you store them? Thanks
You can probably buy organic black eyed peas at Baker Creek Seed Company. After freezing, I store them in glass jars on the shelf. Thank you for watching my videos. Please subscribe.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener appreciate the information. Subscribe today😊 found in neighboring city organic blackeye peas 2.99 pound. I loaded up. Putting in freezer 3 days then defrost at room temperature then will put in jars on a shelf. Hope i got this right. Thanks again. 👌
@@debstayblessed9549 I leave my black eyed peas (and other field peas) in the freezer for at least one month (longer than 3 days). And I admit that I don't know how long it takes to kill all the eggs in the peas by freezing. You will know if 3 days wasn't enough, because when you have them out of the freezer, some of the eggs will hatch and you will have weevils. Thank you for subscribing.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Got it👍
This gets a like just for telling me that I have to FREEZE the peas before I store them. I will freeze them until I need them. Unless that’s a no go 🙅🏾
So after freezing they can be dry stored?
After you freeze them for a week or more, then do they go on the dry pantry shelf until used? Is darkness important?
The freezing is to kill any weevil eggs that might be in the peas. After that I store them either in glass jars or Zip Loc bags. No, darkness is not important.
Have a nice healthy winter and holidays!
Thank you Joan. I plan to do exactly that. Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
Do you can them? I love watch your videos. I'm from nw Missouri.
I can beans. Never black eyed peas.

Makes me want to try black eyed peas. Always enjoyed rattlesnake. I even accept worm damage on corn, just cut the tips of the ears off. Try to sell it to anyone they'll lose their minds. Worms won't eat modern corn ... neither will I.
You are right. Actually the worms do try to eat the corn, it just kills them before they can do much damage. And, if the corn kills the worm that tries to eat it, then why would we want to eat it? Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener OK. I enjoy the line. I was talking to a farmer who worked with it. We were both complaining and it just came out that way. It's a lose/lose for me, I don't like the taste or the genetic shenanigans. I don't buy the line we must feed the world. The world should be able to feed itself. Take care.
@@tomjones4318 I agree that the reason American farmers use Round-Up and so many other chemicals is not to feed the world, but to fatten their bank account. Its all about money.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Can I please ask you? I never had homegrown black eyed peas. Do you enjoy them better than homegrown purple hulled and rattlesnake peas?
@@tomjones4318 I used to think purple hulls were the best field peas you could grow/eat. That is until I tried back eyed peas. I like black eyed peas both as green shell out and as dry peas better than purple hull. I like Rattle Snake Pole Beans (RSPB), as green or snap beans better than any other green beans, I have not tried RSPB as shell out beans.

Question after they've been frozen for 2 weeks or a month can they be taken out and re-dried and stored in bags for long term storage?

Carol, I wonder that also, but I don't know if that works. Thanks for watching this video.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener you can heat them in the oven but I never will again. After heating you can't use them for seed, also heating also destroys a lot of the nutrients. Even though they were sealed after about 5 years the black beans were really tough when I tried to cook some. Just wouldn't cook done. I ended up throwing out a half gallon of black beans.
@@margiemelendy6857 You are right, about heating kills everything. And yes, once heated they will not sprout and grow.

What kind of worms are they?
They are tiny little weevils about 1/4 inch long. Google search on: Weevils
And you will find pictures of them.

I promise my wife and I were just talking about you today as we picked a haul of black eyed peas today.
Now once they've been in the freezer for a week or two can you leave them in the freezer? I've heard freezing without blanching can make them bitter.
