This heirloom variety was first introduced in England, coming to the US in 1908. The peas are well known for  their exceptional quality and sweetness. The 18-30 inch plants produce a high yield of 3-4 inch pods that are very easy to shell. These peas do well when grown in hot weather. Lincoln (Homesteader) Peas freeze very well and have a fresh taste when prepared. This is a wonderful delicious pea that deserves room in any garden; producing high yields in small gardens. 62 days
