I put in an acre of iron and clay cowpeas this year on my farm near Almond in Portage county WI. They grew great on a field that had paper mill sludge dumped on it for fertilizer this spring. I put in some black oil sunflower seeds to give the vines something to climb. When I looked at this plot last Saturday I could not find the iron and clay cowpeas. Can the deer have eaten them already? Did the hard frost kill them? I have plenty of 4 foot tall black oil sunflower plants with 6 inch diameter seed heads. It was a little over three weeks between the last time I saw them growing in September and my visit this weekend.
This is my first year with iron and clay cowpeas. No idea what to expect or when they get eaten. Looking for feedback from anyone who has grown them before.
