Laxton's Progress Pea
Laxton's Progress Pea Seeds are a fantastic choice for gardeners looking for a high-yielding and reliable pea variety. These seeds produce robust plants that reach up to 28 inches in height, yielding pods that are approximately 4 to 5 inches long. Each pod contains 8 to 11 peas, known for their sweet flavor and tender texture, making them perfect for fresh eating, freezing, or canning.
To grow Laxton's Progress Peas, plant the seeds about 1 inch deep in well-drained soil as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, when the soil temperature is at least 10°C.

Avoid overwatering, but do not let the soil dry out completely.
These pea plants typically mature in 55 to 60 days, providing a continuous harvest throughout the growing season. Laxton's Progress Peas are an excellent addition to any garden, offering both aesthetic appeal and culinary versatility.
