Pea Oregon Sugar Pod (mangetout)

In stock

£0.75


​Oregon Sugar Pod grows 75-120cm tall and is a variety that needs support. In return it will give you excellent flavoured broad flat mangetout pods that are tender and crisp. Remember to keep picking and it will keep producing. Fabulous, fresh and low food miles – what more can you ask for?

Price for 50 seeds

SOW: from March to June.  We always start our own peas in pots - about 3 to a pot for planting out together.  Sowing in guttering to be slid into place has become popular.  They can also be sown in situ. 

GROW: pot grown plants need to be hardened off before planting out, they don't need seperating just plant as a little clump.   Peas like moisture and will tolerate light shade.  Water in dry summers.  Pick regularly to encourage more growth. Growing to between 75cm and 120cm Oregon Sugar Pod is a variety that needs support.

EAT: pick them while still flatwhen they are at their most sweet.  We prefer to eat mangetout fresh although you can freeze them very successfully.  Be warned, as with other mangetout, once it starts to crop you will need to pick every day – the pods seem to grow overnight and like to hide amongst the foliage!
