I haven’t tried it, until this year. I planted pigeon peas, that should survive the cold season, and had ordered a jack bean, that was canceled. I am going to try that again this in March. I will point out though, that we use irrigation. I planted the pp to provide shade for my coffee trees.
 
I wasn't selected to go to mars. This tiny ad got in ahead of me:
