Title: Growing Gungo/Pigeon Pea in Ireland/UK
Post by: killerflies on April 26, 2008, 13:29:50
Hi all,

I have a pack of Gungo peas I brought home from a trip to Jamaica last year and was wondering if anybody had any ideas on how to grow/get the most out of them.

A search on the web doesnt say anything about times of year to plant in this neck of the world.

Any info appreciated!

Think I saw them growing outside at the Eden Project, so it can be done (probably)
