    How To Grow

    Sowing: Peas thrive in cooler temperatures and should be sown outdoors 10-15 centimeters deep, 5-8 centimeters apart, 4-6 weeks before the last frost or when the soil temperature reaches 4 degrees Celsius. Avoid planting when temperatures exceed 24 degrees Celsius. For optimal growth, coat the seeds with a powder inoculant containing beneficial bacteria, especially if planting in the soil for the first time. Planting in full sun and well-draining soil is essential, while avoiding proximity to onions or garlic.

    Growing: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged before blooming, and slightly increase watering after blooming. Carefully remove weeds to prevent disturbing the plants, and consider using mulch to retain moisture and control weed growth. Oregon Sugar Pod vines, being compact, do not require a trellis for support.

    Harvesting

    Harvest snow peas when they reach their mature length, typically around 10-12 centimeters, ensuring to pick them before the peas inside fully develop. Regularly check the pods for optimal flavor and texture.

    Seed Saving

    To save Oregon Sugar Pod II pea seeds, allow the pods to fully mature on the vine until they turn brown and the peas rattle inside, indicating complete dryness. Harvest the pods individually or pull up the entire plant and hang it upside down in a warm, dry location for final drying. After 1-2 weeks, shell the peas and store them in a cool, dry place for up to three years.
