Cascadia Pea (Pisum sativum). The 'Cascadia' pea is a productive and generous variety that quickly transforms the vegetable garden into a lush space brimming with crisp harvests. Its compact, yet vigorous, plants produce beautiful green, smooth, and fleshy pods, particularly prized for their tenderness and sweet taste. Very pleasant to grow, this pea is easily established in the garden and offers rapid growth, ideal for gardeners who like to see their efforts rewarded without too much waiting. Its abundant and regular production makes it an excellent choice for small spaces, where each plant must combine yield, beauty, and simplicity of cultivation.
Recommended sowing period: in spring, as soon as the soil is workable and not waterlogged; adjust subsequent sowings to the season and type of harvest. The depth to respect is 2 to 3 cm (3/4 to 1 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the potting soil at 10 to 18 °C (50 to 64 °F). Sow peas directly in well-drained soil, during a cool period. Install the support at sowing so that the first tendrils can cling to it.
Its stringless pods are easily harvested and can be enjoyed both raw and lightly cooked, adding freshness and sweetness to meals from garden to table. Place the peas along a support accessible from both sides. Their final height determines the shade cast on neighboring crops. A row of lettuce at a reasonable distance can benefit from the beginning of the season without interfering with the tendrils. After harvesting, remove the stems and choose a new crop suitable for the remaining time before frosts. The 'Cascadia' Pea is a productive and generous variety that quickly transforms the vegetable garden into a lush space brimming with crisp harvests.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: in spring, as soon as the soil is drained and workable; adjust subsequent sowings to the season and type of harvest. The depth to observe is 2 to 3 cm (3/4 to 1 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the potting soil at 10 to 18 °C (50 to 64 °F). Sow peas directly in well-drained soil during a cool period. Install the support at the time of sowing so that the first tendrils can cling to it. Well-identified rows facilitate weeding, especially when the seedlings still bear little resemblance to adult plants. Avoid working sticky soil: compaction hinders roots and drainage. Peas are often picked during the production period. For a snow pea, look for a tender pod; for a shelling pea, wait until the peas fill it. Hold the stem with one hand while picking with the other to avoid pulling out the plant. Prolonged heat generally shortens the harvest period. Leafy vegetables require a harvest adjusted to the type of plant. Outside picking preserves the heart when you wish to continue production.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Rich, friable, and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilisation supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a suitable fertilizer for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots have limited space. Water as needed after application and observe the foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, avoiding standing water; then adjust according to the crop.
Seasonal care
'Cascadia' Pea is a productive and generous variety that quickly transforms the vegetable garden into a lush space teeming with greenery and crunchy harvests. Sow peas directly into well-drained soil during a cool period. Install support at the time of sowing so that the first tendrils can cling to it. Well-identified rows facilitate weeding, especially when the seedlings still bear little resemblance to mature plants. Avoid working sticky soil: compaction hinders roots and drainage. Peas are often harvested throughout the production period. For a snow pea, look for a tender pod; for a shelling pea, wait until the peas fill it out. Hold the stem with one hand while picking with the other to avoid uprooting the plant. Prolonged heat generally shortens the harvest period. Leafy vegetables require harvesting adjusted to the type of plant. Outer picking preserves the heart when you wish to continue production. Very old leaves do not offer the same tenderness as young shoots. Rinse the harvest just before use or dry it carefully before a short stay in the refrigerator. Its compact yet vigorous plants produce beautiful green, smooth, and fleshy pods, particularly appreciated for their tenderness and sweet taste. Very pleasant to grow, this pea establishes itself easily in the garden and offers rapid growth, ideal for gardeners who like to see their efforts rewarded without too much waiting.

Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
A stable container with drainage holes, wide enough for the plant to spread and deep enough for its roots
Choose this exposure: sun to partial shade. Space plants 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) apart. Growing peas in containers is easier when the support is installed before the seedlings emerge. Secure the trellis to a stable base so it doesn't tip over in the wind. The potting soil should remain moist, as dry soil heats up quickly in the sun. Harvest from the outside of the container to avoid pulling on the fragile stems.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: carrots, radishes, lettuces, corn, cucumbers. The association here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Maintain an aisle for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance without promising protection against pests. Place peas along a support accessible from both sides.

Edible parts
Pods or seeds depending on the harvest stage
Cooking idea with ‘Cascadia’ peas: sautéed pods for four portions. Top and tail 400g of young, tender pods, removing strings where present. Cook in boiling water until tender, then drain. For snap beans, allow about eight to ten minutes; snow peas require a shorter cooking time. Reheat in a pan with 15 ml of oil, one minced garlic clove, and a few drops of lemon. Salt to taste and serve hot. Choose pods that are still pliable, before they become fibrous. Prepare ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cut to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove any damaged pieces before preparation. If doubling quantities, ensure enough space in the dish for even mixing or cooking. Quickly place leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply halve all quantities.
