This is my first year growing white acre peas. I know they are not easy to shell but my problem is I do not know what the
peas should look like to harvest. Does anyone know when to pick

If ypu wish to use them as green shellies, pick when the pods are completely filled out and the pods have a leathery texture. If you get a few that are not fully filled, use them as snaps. If you wish to use them dried, just let them completely dry on the vine, then pick.

Thanks so much for the help. I will think about you this winter while I'm enjoying my
white acre peas with snow on the ground.
