I'm growing snow peas this year for the first time. I think the variety is
Oregon Early Giant, or something like that. When do I pick them? As soon
as the pods are almost 3 inches long, or do I let them fill out just a
little -- where I can see the immature peas bulging the pods? Thanks.

I tend to go with Bill's method. Different varieties [and different
years?] will be different. I also usually plant 2 varieties in
hope that one will like this years weather than the other.

Try them as soon as you dare, [I start as soon as I can see a trace
of bumps in the pod] but leave a few to see if they are getting better
or worse as they mature- adjust for your taste.
