Pisum sativum
SNOWPEA-OREGON has flat edible pods to 10cm, that are good in salads or cooked. Sweet tiny peas inside big sweet pods combine for a delicious flavour treat. As versatile as snap peas. Resistant to pea virus, common wilt & powdery mildew. Vines produce well all summer in mild climates with sufficient water but are not as vigorous in cold weather. Staking is optional. Superb for freezing.
Sow thinly in a trench, push the seed down up to your first knuckle, cover & gently firm down. Direct- sow in early spring, again in midsummer for an autumn crop. Pea seeds DO NOT like heavy p soil.

More About Us
ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
