Little Marvel Pea Seeds (English Type) Heirloom Vegetable. Little Marvel originated in England at the turn of the 20th century and was a 1934 All America Selections winner. This exquisitely sweet old favourite deserves a place in every home garden. Dwarf vines 45 cm (18″) high produce deep green, nearly round pods 7.5 cm (3″) long that are tightly packed with 7-8 very tender and very sweet peas. A good freezing variety – that is if you don’t eat them all straight from the garden!
