Yup, just planted 2 crops of Tecomate lablab with peas. It's starting to come up nicely. We did a trial run in a pot in our backyard and its overflowing.
I have our's taped off with a biologic string that keeps the deer out until it gets up a little bit. Having trouble uploading the pictures...
Here we go, this is my smaller plot and this was 2 weeks after planting and all that heavy rain we just recently had. I bet its growing like crazy right now. I'll get more pictures of my bigger plot and the stuff we still have growing in the back yard later.

The tecomate lablab plus comes with milo in it i believe, however that lab lab has gotten a huge start on the milo and dwarfs any that are growing so far.
I did tecomate pea plus last year that had milo also and it came up great even in that drought (planted around may/june) and the one day it rained good was the day after i planted it. However last year i didn't fence it with that repellant string from biologic and they tore up my peas. We plant with fertilizer and then lightly cover with a drag we made out of chain link fencing. Seeing if i can find a picture of the tecomate pea plus plot i did last year.... thinking about doing a mixture of both next year.
Here's the peas/milo 3 weeks after planting last year:

Turner Seed is Great in Fact they have the A & M rio verde Lablab and last year it was 2.50 a lb. which is a very good price. The thing about labalb is it seems amoust like Oats in that it will grow almost anywhere and is very forgiving to us non-farmers/experts. Good luck
