The plants have now yellowed (would watering help or would the heat get to
them anyway?). So I collected and dried a bunch of the mature peas. Is
that all I need to do to get seeds for a new crop of the same peas?
The heat burns them out eventually; some say a heavy mulch keeping the
roots cool will extend their life.
yes, you can save the dry peas for seed; In my location in upstate New
York, the winter closes in too quickly for a fall crop- by the time it's
cool enough to plant them, there's not enough season left. Your mileage
may vary; why not try?
They're soooo good!
