Bought the blackeyed pea seed at a farm store in Spur, Texas.

You can also order them from Wilheit in Poolville, TX. They also normally sell knuckled purple hull peas (my favorite). They are an old company and still family owned I think.

Thanks for the info! The first time I planted black-eyed peas, 3 years ago, they were excellent & were just some dried ones from the grocery store meant for cooking. Last year I did the same and they had no flavor. This year they are, like yours, just now being harvested & the taste is good, but seems like there are too many ‘onesies’. I remember that 1st year the pods were reeeaaaally long and well filled out. Maybe as the season progresses this will improve. Thanks, again for your help.
