Sweet pea seeds - when to pick?

[Emma684489]

At the minute my sweet pea stalks are brown/yellow but the seed pods are still green. Some are quite fat & bulging but most are still rather thin. Do I wait till they discolour too (brown/yellow) or pick them when they are fat, bulging & green?

Many thanks

like (almost) all seeds ... you have to wait until the pod is brown & crispy

Wait till the pod is brown and dry. But be careful, leave them too long and they'll explode all over the garden.
