Pea: Oregon Sugar Pod

Oregon Sugar Pod peas are incredibly hardy, high-yielding vines. Originally bred to do well in the cooler Pacific Northwest by Dr. Jim Beggett of Oregon State University. The flat pods are about 4 inches (10 cm.) long and have a vibrant shade of green. Growing Oregon Sugar Pod peas is more manageable than growing vines since they are bush peas, only 36 to 48 inches tall.

Peas do well when it's cool (think spring & fall).  For the highest yields, make sure they have a trellis to climb.  This ensures more of the plant gets sun.  Continually harvest ripe pods to increase the harvest time.  If saving for seed &/or soup, leave the pods on the vines until they dry & the seeds (peas) become hard.
