When will my peas be ready?
Planting date + a source's printed days to maturity.
Harvest date calculator
Pick a variety row and a planting date.
Our count: 15 variety rows with a printed day count. Our calculation: planting date + the printed days to maturity (low and high). The days are the source's printed figures for its own region and purpose.
Our reading written by Cowpea Seeds
15 rows in our sources print a day count, from the Texas A&M Lubbock guide and the Arkansas home-garden table. The calculator adds that printed count to your planting date. A range like 75–85 gives a window; a single number gives a single date.
Treat the result as the source's estimate, not a promise. Oklahoma's sheet says time from planting to harvest depends upon season and variety, Clemson notes maturity dates around 65 to 125 days across southern peas, and Georgia ties fresh-market harvest to variety and growing conditions. The day counts here come from a Texas A&M guide and an Arkansas fact sheet.
Our plain-language reading of the extension text quoted on this page. It adds no facts of its own.
Check before you plant. Varieties, dates and disease notes depend on your area and season. Confirm with Texas A&M AgriLife (Lubbock center): Southern Pea (Cowpea) grower guide and University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension: Home Gardening Series, Southern Peas (FSA-6020, PDF) or your local extension office; we last found these words there on October 14, 2026.
Where the day counts come from
Texas A&M's Lubbock guide prints days in parentheses after each variety. Arkansas's table prints them in the column headed below; its footnote explains the "ar" after Elite.

What the sources say about timing
From planting to harvest ranges from 58 to 80 days, depending upon season and variety.
Southern peas vary in maturity dates from around 65 to 125 days.
For fresh market, peas should be harvested 50 to 80 days after planting depending on variety and growing conditions.
