65 days. Any pea that was introduced over 100 years ago and is still widely grown should tell you volumes. Reliable, consistent, and sweet are just some of the words used to describe this pea.

This pea carries Thomas Laxton's name, but was breed by his sons William and Edward Laxton Brother's and named in honor of Thomas' contribution to horticulture and plant breeding. Thomas Laxton died in 1893 and the pea first appeared in 1898.

Contains 30 heirloom seeds

Excellent producer

I planted 100 of these peas and yielded 3 lbs shelled. Since growing these the past few years I haven't had any issues. They are very low maintenance and easy to grow.

Very impressive in all regards!

I purchased Thomas Laxton peas with two other varieties to compare their production for future growing. The other varieties planted were Green Arrow (also purchased from this company) and Little Marvel (from another company). Germination rates for this variety were very good (above 90%), which significantly outperformed the Green Arrow (40% germination), and matched the Little Marvel (also 90%). The plants themselves grew to an impressive height of 6' tall, which is taller than both other varieties (2' and 5' respectively). The yield for a 30' foot row was also superior at 8 pounds compared to 14 ounces and 5 pounds respectively. Thanks to Thomas Laxton peas, I have lots of peas in my freezer to provide my little ones with healthy snacks for weeks to come! I HIGHLY recommend this variety.

Better Than Blue Lake

These Jade bush beans are probably the best green bean I've ever grown and tasted! They produce well, are nice and long, and easy to snap, cook and can. Now that I know how wonderful these are I will definitely plant more next season. Thank you Mary for these fantastic beans!

The Best Snap Pea EVER

Hands down the best snap pea we ever had! Even the kids will go into my garden and break the vines trying to get all these peas! This is a must try and you will grow every year!

Plastic Whiskey Barrell Aproved

I planted seeds in half of a plastic whiskey barrel four years ago. Now, it comes up by itself every year from a tomato falled on dirt. Decembet 22, 2024 and it's still producing sweet tomatoes. Thrives in Texas heat.

Hope I can start these in the house early next spring.

Cant wait to plant these beauties!
