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. 75 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.
Seed Saving: Before sending your entire harvest to the kitchen table, you may want to consider how many seeds you will need for next year’s garden. With 6-8 peas in each pod, you likely won’t need to sacrifice much! When saving pea seeds, it is crucial that you allow the plant to dry out completely. Mature pods will be brown and brittle. Make sure that your plants are receiving adequate airflow to prevent excessive moisture and mold growth throughout the drying process. However, a small amount of mildew spotting on the outside of drying pods is completely normal and no reason for concern. Once dry, harvest the seed pods and crack them open. Sort out any damaged or misshapen peas. Continue the drying process if necessary then store them in a cool, dry place until use.
Germination Rate: 94%
