Why does lima beans grow faster than black eye peas?

Lima beans generally grow faster than black-eyed peas due to their different genetic makeups and growth requirements. Lima beans thrive in warmer temperatures and can quickly establish themselves if conditions are optimal. Additionally, they often have a shorter time to maturity, allowing them to complete their growth cycle more rapidly compared to black-eyed peas. Soil quality, moisture, and nutrient availability can also influence growth rates between the two.
