green hasting
2. Originally: a variety of fruit or vegetable that ripens, matures, or comes into growth early in the growing season. In later use: spec. (more fully green hasting, white hasting) either of two early-ripening varieties of pea, Pisum sativum; garden peas or a garden pea. Also attributive, frequently with the first element in plural form, as hastings pea, hastings pear; cf. sense B. 2. Now historical and rare.Earlier currency is probably implied by the apparent figurative allusion to this sense at sense A. 1.
