Pisum sativum
SNOWPEA-OREGON has flat edible pods to 10cm, that are good in salads or cooked. Sweet tiny peas inside big sweet pods combine for a delicious flavour treat. As versatile as snap peas. Resistant to pea virus, common wilt & powdery mildew. Vines produce well all summer in mild climates with sufficient water but are not as vigorous in cold weather. Staking is optional. Superb for freezing.
Sow thinly in a trench, push the seed down up to your first knuckle, cover & gently firm down. Direct- sow in early spring, again in midsummer for an autumn crop. Pea seeds DO NOT like heavy p soil.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
