How can you tell when peas are ready for harvest?

- Their pods should be crunchy.

How do you know when peas are done producing?
Hold the vine with one hand and pull pods off with the other. Peas are at the peak of flavor immediately after harvest. Pea pods that have hardened or turned a dull color are over mature. Mature plants usually stop producing and die back in hot summer weather.How long do peas continue to produce?
If you allow the first dozen or two pods to mature and develop seeds, that may exhaust the plant and become your entire harvest; whereas, if you harvest all pods when young, a pea plant may continue to produce consistently for 2 to 3 months or longer.
