Pisum sativum 'Oregon Sugar Pod'
Sweet, Crisp Mangetout Snow Pea – Edible Green Pods

Pea 'Oregon Sugar Pod' (Pisum sativum) is a traditional mangetout variety grown for its broad, flat, green edible pods. The pods are picked young, while the peas inside are still small, giving them a crisp texture and pleasantly sweet flavour. The plants have climbing stems, fresh green foliage and delicate white flowers, followed by a succession of tender pods.

Well suited to UK kitchen gardens, allotments and raised beds, 'Oregon Sugar Pod' is a useful choice for anyone who enjoys growing fresh vegetables. Its young pods can be eaten whole in salads, lightly steamed or added to stir-fries. Provide pea netting or twiggy supports, water during flowering and pick regularly to encourage further cropping.

How to Sow & Grow (UK)
Sow indoors: February–April in deep modules or root trainers for an early start. Avoid unnecessary root disturbance.
Plant out: March–May after hardening off, when soil and weather conditions are suitable.
Direct sow: March–June in prepared, workable soil. Avoid waterlogged ground.
Flowering: Late spring to summer, depending on sowing date. Harvest young edible pods mainly from June–September, with earlier crops possible after an early start.
Life cycle: Annual vegetable.
Germination temperature: Approximately 10–20°C.
Average germ time: Usually 7–14 days in suitable conditions, longer in cold soil.
Depth: Approximately 5 cm (2 inches).
Light required: Light is not required for germination. Provide bright light after seedlings emerge.
Moisture: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and pod formation.
Environment: Full sun, preferably sheltered, with pea netting or twiggy supports.
Soil type: Fertile, humus-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, preferably near neutral.
Plant spacing: Approximately 7–10 cm (2.8–4 inches) between plants, allowing enough space for supports and harvesting.
Mature height: Height varies with growing conditions and seed strain; allow supports approximately 60–100 cm (24–39 inches) tall rather than treating a single height as guaranteed.
Expert Growing Tips

● Avoid saturated soil: Pea seeds may rot in cold, waterlogged ground, so wait until the soil is workable

● Install supports early: Give climbing stems netting or twiggy branches before they begin to sprawl

● Protect young plants: Birds, mice and slugs can damage seeds and emerging seedlings

● Water during flowering: Consistent moisture helps pods develop without unnecessary stress

● Harvest frequently: Pick while pods remain flat and tender, before the peas inside become prominent

Important: 'Oregon Sugar Pod' is an edible garden pea (Pisum sativum). It is not an ornamental sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus), whose seeds and pods are poisonous if eaten.
