Once your sweet peas start to set seed the flowers dry up, hence the importance of picking the flowers regularly which prevents this from happening. However if you want to save seed for next year, now is the time to let a few do what comes naturally and set seed. We leave the seed pods on the plants until they are as dry as we can get them and then pick them off and store them in a dry place to complete the drying process. Once dry, the pods can be shelled and the dried peas stored in a dry container, an envelope is ideal for this.
