Johnsons Pea Early Little Marvel Seeds

Known for reliable, early delicious crops, this is an established and very popular variety with productive dwarf plants that gives great harvests of blunt-ended, dark green pods of 6-8 sweet and tender peas. Ideal for fresh eating but also well suited for freezing. Early sowings should be protected with cloches. Likewise, younger plants should be protected from birds with twigs or netting and support provided with pea sticks or netting for easier picking, especially in windy locations. Regular picking recommended to obtain abundant yields. Easy to grow and versatile, peas and beans make a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. As well as being a traditional side, legumes also provide a terrific source of protein for a vegan diet. Peas and broad beans prefer cool conditions but need to be grown in full sun or partial shade.
