Oregon Giant Snow Pea (65 Days)
The Oregon Giant Snow Pea is thick, succulent, and sweet with 4-5“ pods that are productive over an extended period with high yields of the short, bushy 30-36” vines. We are still harvesting them in mid-August here; even the plump semi- filled pods remain tender. The Oregon Giant Snow Pea is very resistant to powdery mildew and pea enation mosaic virus.
