Compact plants grow to around 70 cm tall, making this an excellent choice where space is limited or a tall climbing pea is impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire young pod is eaten before the peas inside fully develop. Pods are tender, sweet and crunchy, excellent eaten fresh in salads or straight from the garden. They are equally good lightly steamed or quickly stir-fried, where brief cooking retains their fresh flavour and crisp texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants have a compact bush habit and can be grown with or without support, although low pea netting, stakes or twiggy branches can help keep the crop upright and make harvesting easier. The variety is a vigorous producer with useful disease resistance and a relatively quick maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular harvesting is particularly important with snow peas. Pick pods while they are still flat and tender to encourage the plants to continue flowering and producing over an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeas are among the world’s oldest cultivated food crops, originating in the Near East and grown since ancient times. Early peas were primarily harvested and dried for storage, while edible-podded forms such as snow peas were selected for their tender pods and became important vegetables in many cuisines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 3–5 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 130 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late summer to autumn\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late summer to autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring, with autumn sowing possible in suitable areas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly where plants are to grow. Peas generally dislike root disturbance, so direct sowing is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpace seeds approximately 5–10 cm apart. Plants grow to around 70 cm tall and can be grown without staking, although low support can help keep plants upright and pods clear of the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Peas tolerate a range of soil types but dislike waterlogged conditions. Maintain consistent moisture during flowering and pod development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest pods while young, flat and tender, before the peas inside become noticeably swollen. Pick regularly to encourage continued production. For seed saving, leave selected pods on healthy plants until fully mature and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturity: approximately 60–68 days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to quarantine restrictions, we cannot send Pea seeds to Tasmania and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46375834714330,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71942f70.33003371","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"400g","offer_id":46375834747098,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71942ff2.92686566","price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"800g","offer_id":46375834812634,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71943047.32372377","price":31.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4kg","offer_id":46375834779866,"sku":"prefix_681c1f71943021.68587104","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/V_Pea_Snowpea_Oregon.jpg?v=1785209674","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/pea-snowpea-oregon-460","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
