If you’ve ever wanted to try saving seeds, then look no further than the humble pea. It’s one of the largest seeds you’ll grow in the garden, making it the perfect choice for a first time seed saver.

Saving pea seeds requires patience – you have to wait about 3-4 weeks after harvest date for the pea pods to get dry and leathery to the touch. You want the peas to rattle around inside the pea pod as an indication they’re fully dry and ready for long-term storage.

After you cut them open and collect the seeds, place them in a cool, dry, and dark place for longer-term storage. If you are going to start a new crop right away, you can sow them directly without waiting for them to dry out!
