Snap Pea, Cascadia
Product Description: (Pisum sativum) The Cascadia snap pea was bred by Dr. James Baggett of Oregon State University and introduced in 1992. Despite its short vines (reaching just 32” in height), this variety provides a generous yield of 3-3.5” pods. Strong resistance to PEMV and moderate resistance to both powdery mildew and fusarium wilt (race 1). Bush type. Open-pollinated. 50 seeds per packet.
Growing Information: Direct seed in full sun as soon as the soil can be worked. Sow your beans 2.5 cm (1 inch) deep and 15 cm (6 inches) apart. Trellising is optional, as this variety was bred specifically as a bush type. Harvest pods frequently to optimize yield.
Peas thrive in cool weather and will germinate in soils as low as 40°F, making them the ideal crop for an early spring planting. As soon as the soil can be worked, direct-sow your seeds 2.5 cm (1 inch) deep and 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) apart. Trellising is optional for this variety, as it was bred specifically as a bush type. For larger plantings, space your rows 1 meter (36 inches) apart. 65 days to maturity.
How To Save Pea Seeds
Leave the pods on the vine until brown and brittle. Make sure that your plants receive adequate airflow to prevent mold growth during the drying process. However, a small amount of mildew spotting on the outside of drying pods is no cause for concern. Once dry, harvest the seed pods and crack them open. Sort out any damaged, misshapen, or infected seeds. Continue drying if needed then store them in a cool, dry location.
