Thompson and Morgan Pea Mangetout Oregon Sugar Pod Seeds

Pea lovers enjoy a bountiful harvest with the Thompson and Morgan Pea Mangetout Oregon Sugar Pod Seeds that deliver tender, sweet pods perfect for stir fries or steaming. You'll find the 'Oregon Sugar Pod' variety produces heavy yields from summer into early autumn and resists mildew, making it a reliable choice for your home garden or allotment. Easy to grow outdoors from March to June, these hardy plants reach up to 90cm high and thrive in full sun, offering fuss-free care with clear instructions included. Pick pods young for the best flavour and keep harvesting regularly to encourage even more crops. Direct sow Mangetout peas outdoors from March to June, once the soil has warmed. Choose a weed-free position on moist, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Sow Mangetout seed in flat-bottomed drills at a distance of five centimetres apart, and four centimetres deep. Allow a distance of 75cm between rows. For successional crops, sow Mangetout peas every ten days. Support Mangetout plants with twiggy sticks, wire or netting as they grow, and use fine netting to protect pea crops from birds and pea moth damage. When growing Mangetout peas, regular and thorough watering, especially when in flower, will improve crop yields. Harvest edible podded peas around 12-13 weeks after sowing, just as the peas inside start to form. Regular picking will encourage further cropping. Product Specifications: Hardiness: Hardy.
