Looking in the Joel Chandler Harris books for the 'pea patch' story; nothing about peas in the story titles. In which story did the 'pea patch' appear?

1. 1880, Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings:...

2. 1883, Nights with Uncle Remus, Myths and Legends...
The story "In Some Lady's Garden" involves English peas and pea vines with Brer Rabbit, but there is nothing to connect it to the Macon, etc. breakdown, or the playparty cited by Azizi.

"Pea patch" was the name applied to a prison camp by a Union prisoner, (diary 1865) and is an old expression for a small vegetable garden.

3. 1889, Daddy Jake, the Runaway ...
4. 1892, Uncle Remus and His Friends,
5. 1905, Told by Uncle Remus...
etc.

The Fiddlers Companion cites "Pea Patch Jig" aka "Mechanics Hall Jig," and credits Dan Emmett, 1845. I have not seen this.

Several song sheets mention "Mechanics Hall," seemingly a popular place for dances.

The Red Clay Ramblers were among those recording a version.
