**Planting Instructions:**

- **Soil Preparation:** Choose a well-drained, loamy soil for planting. Work compost into the soil to improve its fertility and water-holding capacity.

- **Planting Time:** Oregon Giant peas are a cool-season crop. Sow the seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring or in late summer for a fall harvest.

- **Sowing:** Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 2 inches apart in rows. Leave about 18-24 inches between rows.

- **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Oregon Giant peas prefer even moisture, especially during flowering and pod formation.

- **Support:** Oregon Giant pea plants are vining and will need support. Provide trellises, stakes, or a pea fence for them to climb as they grow.

- **Sunlight:** Oregon Giant peas thrive in full sun, but they can tolerate partial shade.

- **Harvesting:** Harvest the pods when they are still flat and the peas inside are just beginning to swell. Pick them regularly to enjoy them at their sweetest.
