Vegetable: Snow Pea
Variety: Oregon Sugar Pod II
Seed Co: Territorial PE624
Description: 3-5” crisp green pods on dwarf, non-climbing 36” vines
Sown: March 6, indoors
Transplanted: April 5
Germination: very good
First Harvest: June 17
Days to maturity: Stated: 70 Actual: 90
Held in field/length of harvest: 3 weeks
Problems: Succumbed to enation (according to Steve Solomon) before 2nd round of flowers could set pods fully
Results: Matured later due to abnormally chilly May weather which slowed growth. Produced twice as heavily as Mega snap peas. Crisp, juicy, stringless pods were great fresh or stir fried. Stronger “pea” flavor than snaps. Good eating even when peas were allowed to swell up.
Yum.
