This pea grows to about 5 or 6 ft tall, and the special thing about Lord Leicester is that starts to flower very early on but carries on to almost the end of the season - so you get peas over a long period. The yield is good too.Sow seeds in a double row in a drill 10 cm wide with the seeds 2 cm apart in April May. These peas need to grow up a support system of pea netting.
