Plants grow to approximately 1 m tall and provide generous harvests of substantial pods that are easy to spot and pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire young pod is eaten before the peas inside fully mature. Despite their impressive size, the pods remain tender when harvested young and are excellent eaten fresh in salads, sliced into wraps or quickly steamed or stir-fried. Brief cooking helps retain their characteristic sweetness and crunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOregon Giant was developed as part of the Oregon State University pea-breeding program and was selected for its combination of large pods, good eating quality and useful disease resistance. It has resistance to powdery mildew as well as some resistance to root rot, making it a particularly dependable choice where these diseases can affect pea crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants reach around 1 m tall and benefit from pea netting, stakes or another low trellis. Regular harvesting encourages continued flowering and pod production and ensures the pods are picked at their sweetest and most tender stage.\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.
