Sugar snap peas are ready to harvest approximately 60-70 days from planting, depending on the variety. Pick them when the pods are plump, bright green (or purple, if planting a purple variety), and the seeds inside have reached a good size. Harvest regularly to encourage more pod production

Thanks for the pea pod tips. Mine are clinging and climbing. It's not time for harvesting. Have you eaten the leaves? 🍃 I hear they're edible🤔
In my area we get maybe five or six pods before the heat takes out the entire plant.

Looks like saim
Lucky you😢, Us Floridian’s got “early summer” 2 months ago. So we can only grow summer stuff. It will be useless to grow cool weather crops.
Thank you! I didn't know what to do😂
Thank you for your support. ❤
These peas can be eaten at multiple points during their growth. The young pods can be harvested and eaten whole (thus sugar "snap", because they are sweet and crispy), and older pods can be harvested and husked for the peas inside. The one you plucked was right on the verge of being too mature to eat the pod itself, but based on the color, it probably wouldn't have been too fibrous.
And yeah, young pea shoots can also be eaten, although this obviously means that you're not going to have pods or peas to enjoy. Pea shoots are usually grown as their own crop.
