Cowpeas through the year
Against the frost risk in Biên Hòa
Why these dates
Sow two weeks after the last frost once soil is genuinely warm. Cowpeas grow fast enough in heat to be sown as a second crop after an early harvest.
Tender at 0C, with no useful frost tolerance at either end.
Seed packets and extension guides express timing as weeks either side of the last spring frost, because that is the only reference point that travels. Cowpeas are timed for direct sowing 2 weeks after it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Biên Hòa.
