Harvesting: Harvest snow peas as soon as they reach their mature length, before the peas inside fully develop. Regularly check pods for optimal flavor. The Mammoth Melting Sugar variety is known for its high yield and maintains pod quality even with late harvesting.
Seed Saving: To save seeds, allow pods to mature fully on the vine until they turn brown and rattle when dry. You can pick them individually or pull the entire plant and hang it upside down in a warm, dry location. After 1-2 weeks of drying, shell the peas and store the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to three years.
