Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• No special preparation is required for Lincoln pea seeds. However, soaking them in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Sowing (optional):

  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
  • Sow seeds 1-2 inches apart in seed trays or pots with a quality seed-starting mix.
  • Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for best germination.

• Outdoor Sowing:

  • Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed and when the soil temperature is around 45-55°F (7-13°C).
  • Space seeds 1 inch apart, planting them 1-2 inches deep in fertile, well-drained soil.
  • Space rows about 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.

Germination:

• Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy during the germination period.

Transplanting:

• If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings to the garden once the soil has warmed up and they have at least two sets of true leaves.
• Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting them.

Care & Maintenance:

Watering:

• Keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and pod formation. Avoid over-watering, as peas are sensitive to waterlogged conditions.

Fertilization:

• Peas are nitrogen-fixing plants and typically do not need additional nitrogen fertilizer. If the soil is nutrient-poor, consider applying a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer.

Support:

• Lincoln peas are climbing peas and benefit from a trellis, fence, or pea netting to help them grow vertically. This improves airflow and reduces disease risk while making harvesting easier.

Mulching:

• Apply mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and keep weeds in check.

Pest & Disease Control:

• Monitor for common pea pests, such as aphids and pea weevils, as well as diseases like powdery mildew.
• Use organic pest control options, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, when necessary.

Harvesting:

• Harvest peas when the pods are full but still tender. For fresh peas, pick them when they are plump and bright green.
• For dried peas, leave the pods to mature on the vine until they turn yellow and dry out.

Culinary Uses:

• Lincoln peas are perfect for fresh eating, adding to salads, soups, and stews, or blanching and freezing for later use.
• Their sweet flavor and tender texture make them an excellent choice for a variety of dishes.

• Heirloom Quality: Grown from a trusted heirloom variety, ensuring consistent, high-quality harvests year after year.
