When to harvest peas
I have grown (little Marvel) and on occasion (Early Alaska) peas for many
years and have always eaten them right-out-of-the-garden. Mainly because they are delicious this way but also because I don't know at what point of their maturity to harvest them for a dish. When the pods are still fully green, the peas are sweet but slightly smaller than after the pods start to discolor and the peas get slightly larger but not nearly as sweet. I'm interested in finding out at what stage to pick them to fix cooked and creamed as a dish. Thanks |

When to harvest peas
I hardly ever plant shelling peas. I however plant the mangetout variety every
year. These are what are called snow peas, I think. Even then, I like the mammoth melting over Oregon II /z. |

When to harvest peas
We had a 6 inch snowfall last week and I'm curious if I can plant those
(snow peas) now or if I need to wait for some additional snow. I have only ever planted (shelling peas) and am new to those (snowpeas) you mentioned. |

Since you have grown regular English peas. you can treat the snow peas in the same manner except that they have more vine than some varieties of English pea so plan on some sort of trellis.. |
