Harvesting
Garden/Shelling Peas: Harvested when the pods are full and plump but still bright green and tender, typically 45 to 70 days after sowing. Regular picking encourages continued production. Snap Peas: Harvested when the pods are plump, glossy, and crisp, and can be eaten pod and all. Snow Peas (Mangetout): Harvested when the pods are immature, flat, and before the seeds swell significantly.
