Cascadia snap peas mature remarkably fast at 58 days, giving you harvestable pods before summer heat arrives. The plants stay manageable at 30 inches tall, requiring minimal support while still producing generously. Frost tolerance means you can start these as soon as soil reaches 40°F in spring, or sow again in late summer for a fall crop in most regions.
Cascadia snap peas are eaten fresh off the vine, pods and all. Their crisp texture and tender walls make them ideal for raw snacking, salads, and stir-fries where you want the entire pod to remain edible and delicious. They're the kind of pea you pick warm from the garden and eat immediately.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Sow directly outdoors 4 to 6 weeks before your average last spring frost date when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°F to 80°F. For a fall crop, sow again 10 to 12 weeks before your average first frost date. In mild climates, sow in fall or winter for winter harvest. Starting seeds indoors is not recommended for this variety.
Pick Cascadia snap peas when pods are plump and firm but still tender, typically around 58 days after sowing. Harvest regularly when pods are full-sized but before they become tough or overly mature. Use both hands when picking to avoid damaging the vine; hold the plant steady with one hand and gently snap the pod away with the other.
