65 days — 'Cascadia' is a snap pea variety with pods that have very thick, fleshy walls that are succulent, crisp yet tender, and sweet. These Snap peas are a cross between English peas and snow peas and they are used in the same way as snow peas. That is, you eat to whole pod and do not shell them. Picked while relatively immature, strings are not a problem. However, if they get away from you, no worries; simply snap and de-string them (like green beans) and you will find the pods to still be crispy and sweet. We enjoy them raw in mixed greens salads, or lightly cooked in stir-fry dishes.
'Cascadia' pea plants are short and resistant to pea enation mosaic virus and fusarium wilt race 1. Bred by Dr. James R. Baggett of Oregon State University and released in 1992. Each ounce is generally enough to plant at least a ten foot row.

★★★★★ Excellent Snap Peas!

We had great luck with these! Very high germination and they grew up great in spite of a sudden frost early in their development. I was a little worried about whether or not this cross would be tough, but these are some truly delicious snap peas! We like them the best after they've reached about 2 inches long, but it is hard not to just snack on them whenever you see them on the vine XD
★★★★★ Best sweetest pea ever with perfect size shape.

If I have to choose only one variety of pea to grow, this will be it. Peas are large size and perfect shape and extremely sweet. Compact plants don't need a very high trellis. This is the most memorable peas I ever tasted. It does not even get old when you harvest late, it actually taste even sweeter. Highly recommended.
