I have pulled all my early dwarf - Hatif d'Annonay peas as they were basically finished and I want the space for beetroot. I can use some that are green and just OK for eating but the others are yellowing to being a bit greenish and the pods are starting to go limp and shrivel and feel like leather. i.e. - past their eat by date..

Can I let these older ones dry in the pod and keep them for seed or should I have left the plants to all go dry before picking the last of them for seed?

DD - the Stokesley you sent me are doing well and I will keep some seed from these as well so hence the question above as well!!

they should really dry on the plant for seed saving.

You can cook the drying peas as mushy peas  :)
