Laxton's Progress No. 9
60 days — The plants of 'Laxton's Progress No. 9', also marketed under the synonyms 'Laxton Progress #9' and 'Progress No. 9', grow eighteen to twenty-four inches tall and produce pods containing six to nine tasty, sweet, large, peas each. It has been a very popular home garden pea for decades and although it does well in most locations, it was originally introduced to excel in the Southwestern United States.[1] The seeds are wrinkled.
'Laxton's Progress No. 9' is an improved variety of 'Laxton's Progress' and has slightly larger pods and is resistant to Fusarium Wilt.[2] Each ounce is approximately 100 seeds, which is generally enough to plant at least a ten foot row.
Planting Instructions: Loosen rich well-drained soil in a location that receives six to eight hours of full sunlight per day. Add compost or fertilizer before planting.
Plant seeds directly outdoors in spring or fall when temperatures are cool. Plant 1½ inches deep, one to two seeds every two inches. Keep moist until germination. Thin to one plant every two inches in rows spaced thirty inches apart.
