Why Choose Cascadia Snap Pea?

• Thick-Walled, Juicy Pods: Plump, flavorful pods with a satisfying crunch — one of the best snap peas for fresh eating and cooking.
• Disease Resistant: Natural defenses against common pests and fungal pressures for lower-maintenance, more reliable harvests.
• Compact Vines: Vigorous 3-foot vines are manageable and easy to trellis — great for smaller gardens and raised beds.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations — save seeds year after year for a self-sustaining garden.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade — at least 6 hours per day. Peas prefer cool conditions and will struggle in intense summer heat.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Peas fix their own nitrogen — avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen.
• Planting: Direct sow outdoors 4–6 weeks before last frost when soil temps reach 45–65°F. Peas tolerate light frosts and prefer cool soil.
• Spacing: Sow seeds 1–2 inches deep, 2–3 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart.
• Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or netting — vines reach 3 feet and need support to climb and produce well.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist; avoid overhead watering during flowering to prevent fungal issues.
• Fertilizing: A light balanced fertilizer at planting is sufficient. Peas fix atmospheric nitrogen naturally.
• Harvesting: Ready in approximately 60–70 days. Harvest when pods are plump and filled but still bright green. Pick frequently to encourage continued production.
