Pea Edible Pod - Oregon Sugar Pod The Pea Snow Oregon Sugar Pod, 'Pisum sativum', is a flat podded type pea that has great disease resistance and has tasty, stringless pods for stir fry or salads. This is one of the three vegetables that tastes much better garden grown than from a store. Oregon Sugar Pod produces a huge number of 4 inch tasty pods which are harvested and eaten when the pods are flat, before the seed forms. Oregon Sugar Pods are excellent for the freezer. Plant in the early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In mild climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Peas prefer well drained soil. Keep the plants moist but do not get them over watered and soggy. Successive plantings 1 week apart will prolong the harvest season. |
