One of the best-tasting peas we have ever tried. This superior variety was saved by a Mennonite farmer named Lillian. It is not an old, storied heirloom of antiquity, but rather a discontinued commercial variety that this family did not want to see disappear. Lillian explained that she grew Caseload peas from Johnny’s Seeds and loved the variety. When the company discontinued the Caseload pea, Lillian tracked down some seeds to save. After almost two decades of seed saving, the variety has developed unique characteristics making it different from the original Caseload pea. Vines reach 2-3 feet in length with peas about 2.5-3 inches long, containing 5-7 large, sweet peas. 55-65 days 6-12 hrs of Sun Sprouts in 10-30 Days Ideal Temperature: 45-80 F Seed Depth: 1" Plant Spacing: 4" Frost Hardy: Yes Pisum sativum
