Default Ping :- Sweet pea experts

We have a 'wall' of sweet pea plants that have had a GLORIOUS display of
coloured flowers, still displaying but a bit past their best. Have had a
lot of hover flies around them and there has been a lot of pollinating
going on. Now we are being presented by mange tout things but they are
'furry'. I take it these are the seed pods of the sweet peas should
these be taken of and dried or left in situ or ...? Any sweet peas we
are likely to plant next year will be grown from plugs/bought seeds so
do we actually want these pods for anything?
