Anyone here dry cowpeas?

I want to grow purple hull cowpeas but I'd prefer to dry them afterwards. This is just as an experiment. I'm not going to rely on this to get me through the winter.

I am also growing some cowpeas, several different varieties, and might try to dry some, depending on how much they produce(how tired I get canning them). I also would like to hear a good answer to this question. I haven't researched this yet, as I am trying to get the garden going good first.

Cool. I'm trying to rotate crops in my small garden so I'm going to give this a try.

If it is not too wet, this will work but you may want to look into a variety intended for drying.

We usually have dry falls, but that's a good point.
Do you know of varieties that are particularly good for drying?
Do you know if the whole mature pod can be brought inside to finish the drying process?

If you keep them scattered out with plenty of air circulation.

a link that may be of interest, with a number you can call for more info.
These look like what you want.
I don't know if it would still work, but the woman I learned gaardening from would go down to the local grocery store and buy a bag of black eye peas and plant them in her garden. She always had good luck.
