Yellow eye peas and other-
 

I've found bulk southern peas and limas at the produce stand. Would like to try some of each.
Can anyone tell me if these are bush or pole?
Yellow eye pea
Field pea
Large green Lima
Baby green lime
Baby white Lima
Spelled Lima
Cranberry bean

I had never heard of a yellow eyed pea until you mentioned them the other day. Here's site with a picture [URL]http://www.johnnyseeds.com/p-6303-kenearly-yellow-eye.aspx[/URL]

Oh yeah, your seeds are in the mail :)

Most of those names are so generic that they could refer to either bush or pole varieties. Most dry beans sold commercially are bush varieties, though, so that would be a relatively safe assumption.

Never heard of "Spelled Lima"... could that be "speckled"?

Sorry,that was my spell checker. Should have been speckled Lima. It's a small,dark,speckled bean. We ate a lot of them as Shellie's last year so I just bought a bag,thinking I'll plant a row.
