How do you know when to pick peas ?

hubballi · « **on:** June 16, 2009, 07:59 »

I have Hurst and Kelverdon wonder peas. They are doing well and have lots of healthy pods. However, when I pick them they seem to look fat enough but the peas inside have not fully formed.

What is the best way to tell they are just right for picking as I also don't want to leave them too long.

I give them a squeeze too. The pod should feel firm and heavy - Yummm Yummmm Yummmmmmmmm !

I couldn't wait for my first ever peapod to ripen - I've just ate it as a mange tout

actually, i was thinking about that - sorry DD but I really don't like peas (the only way I can eat them is straight off the plant out of the pod - no cooking), so i was wondering if i was able to eat the pod as it is before fully matured....

i know you said
