Lincoln

B tier

Lincoln is an old American garden pea—heat-tolerant relative to some English types, productive, and sweet when harvested on time. Midseason shelling habit suits home plots. Flavour is standard excellent garden pea without novelty pod traits. Succession sow where summers warm quickly. Shell and cook lightly. A heirloom-leaning catalogue name still circulating. Pair Lincoln with complementary seasonings and a cooking method such as Fresh Shelled to show the American Garden side of the ingredient. Shoppers meeting Lincoln for the first time should taste it plain before masking it; the Heat Tolerant Lean profile is easier to remember that way.
