We buy these as a novelty, for a once-in-a while treat. 
BTW, Dixie speckled butter pea limas and Jackson Wonders are worth growing. I can get a decent yield from a small garden bed and they are really tasty, too.  |
I got a good yield of Dixie Speckled Butter Peas. I only planted one row and I got enough for several meals for myself, shared some with a neighbor, and still have some dried beans in the cupboard for stew. I have seeds for pole limas from the Swap that I will plant this summer.
