Oregon Sugar Pod II, a standout snow pea variety, is cherished for its succulent, edible pods and prolific production. These flat, tender peas boast a sweet flavor, making them perfect for stir-fries and salads. Select a well-drained, sunny location for planting. Sow the seeds directly in the garden soil early in the spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Plant the seeds about 1-2 inches deep, spaced 2 inches apart, in rows or clusters.

Provide support for the pea plants, as they tend to vine . Trellises or vertical structures work well to keep the plants off the ground and make harvesting more accessible.

Consistent moisture is crucial, especially during flowering and pod development. Applying a layer of mulch around the plants helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Oregon Sugar Pod II peas typically mature in 60-70 days, and harvest should be done regularly. Pods are best when picked young and flat, before the peas inside become too large.
