Thank you.
Yes, they would if they ever moved. I have picked them up from various places intending to clean and season them.. but there they still sit. I have one big one that I use almost every day.
I suppose if I ever get around to using them I'll need to put a nice pad under them.

we have coasters/hot pads for putting heavy things on like that to avoid scratching the counters or tables.

nice display for sure.

Love your cow creamer. Is it late in season for peaches ?

Getting there. We had to walk a long ways into the orchard to find trees with peaches still on them.
I actually picked up a LOT from the ground. If it was firm and didn't have any bruises, in the bag it went. I was toting about 10lbs by the time my friend got to a tree with any on it.

Darn right it is pretty! Beautiful bunch of work there and it sure will taste good!

Who has any advice about 'rice peas'?
I wanted to try a couple of different kinds of beans this year to store dry for winter use.
I planted 3 or 4 rice peas - just because they sounded interesting. I am SERIOUSLY impressed with their production.
This is the 3rd time picking them. The first 2 times I got a nice little pile. I'm letting them dry on the plants, then bringing them in and running them in the dehydrator for a day or so. This time I FILLED my biggest mixing bowl and the trays in the dehydrator weren't touching because of the mass of bean pods between them.

These little guys are a bit of a pain to shell, the pods SPRING open in a twist and peas/beans fly everywhere. I shell them down inside one of those old Tupperware lettuce keeper bowls. This is about 3" deep in peas (with a few other beans)

Have any of you ever used them? They look like tineey-tiny blackeye peas... so I'm assuming that I can use them the same way?

Interesting, but have never used them. I think @Pulsegleaner has.

I work with rice BEANS (different thing).

That being said I tried to grow rice peas once. Don't recall if any came up. I think they cook just like other cow peas.

i'd put them in an old pillow case and mash them around that ways to shell them...

it's how i do bulk beans of any kind when i have enough.

i wonder if those rice bean are like a step up in size from the chia seeds?

anyways, no, i've not grown them here, but some of the beans i grow are not very big and it takes quite a few pods to make a lb of beans. the funny thing with some of them is that they are the firmest beans i have, you can cook them for 2-3 hrs and they'll still have a firm texture. which i like for chili when i make it with beans...

Pillow case!!! Genius!!!
