My sweet peas went into pods sooner then I remember from previous years.

Can someone help me with collecting the seeds when and how to keep them. I've never done this before.

Question for you?
Have you ever grown regular garden peas before?
Same concept if you have...

The pods' form, little, and then grow bigger as the peas inside the pods develope..
They, the pods, start out green, and will gradually turn tan and then brown....
Just let them hang..
The plant it'self can even turn tan to brown and you'll know they'll be done/dried...

Thanks Weezie,

Sounds easy enough, and then just keep them in a dry place over winter?

Yep, maybe like a mailing white envelope..
*that's what I do..* or even a brown paper bag...
or a cardboard box, something to keep it dry...
