To grow Oregon Sugar Pod Snow Peas:

1. Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-drained soil.
2. Amend the soil with compost or manure before planting.
3. Sow the seeds directly in the ground, about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart.
4. Water the seeds regularly, and keep the soil moist until they germinate.
5. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to 12 inches apart.
6. Fertilize the plants every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
7. Water the plants regularly, especially during hot weather.
8. Provide the plants with support, such as a trellis or fence, to climb on.
9. Harvest the pods when they are 2-3 inches long and the peas inside are still small and tender.

Tips:

• Oregon Sugar Pod Snow Peas are a cool-weather crop, and can tolerate light frost.
• To prevent bolting (the plant flowering and going to seed prematurely), plant snow peas in the spring or fall, when the weather is cooler.
• Snow peas are susceptible to a number of pests and diseases, such as aphids, flea beetles, and powdery mildew. Keep the plants healthy and vigorous by watering them regularly and fertilizing them regularly.
• Snow peas can be eaten raw, cooked, or stir-fried. They are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as dietary fiber.

Harvesting:

Oregon Sugar Pod Snow Peas are ready to harvest when the pods are 2-3 inches long and the peas inside are still small and tender. To harvest, simply snap the pods off the vine.

Storage:

Oregon Sugar Pod Snow Peas can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To store, wash the pods thoroughly and dry them well. Place the pods in a plastic bag and refrigerate.

Here are some additional tips for growing Oregon Sugar Pod Snow Peas:

• Plant the seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.
• If you are planting snow peas in the fall, plant them at least 6 weeks before the first expected frost.
• Water the plants regularly, especially during hot weather. Snow peas need about 1 inch of water per week.
• Fertilize the plants every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
• Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Harvest the pods regularly to encourage the plants to produce more pods.
