Lockie's Early

Our donor has grown this variety since 1982, when he was given some seed by his farming neighbour. The peas had originally been given to the farmer's mother and father in 1906 as a good luck wedding present by 'Lockie', the farm's shepherd. This continued the Cotswold tradition that if you had a supply of dried peas you would never starve. A hardy pea growing to around 1m in height and producing white flowers and long pods.
