     As long as you still have the flowers coming Richard, they will keep on producing.  I think it also depends on when you sowed them too.  My ones that have just finished were sown in early and late April.

    Once the plants are finished with, they can be pulled up and composted (that's where mine will be going today).

    Someone else will correct me if I am wrong but I think saving pea seeds will be the same as for beans - leave some pods on the plants until the pods go brown and dry out.  Once they have dried out, the seeds can be removed from the pods and stored inside an envelope in a dry place.

    Thanks for that Sue - the peas are still coming but not as quickly as before. I'll keep a few peas on the plant as you said and collect the seeds when the peas have just about finished. My dwarf french beans are just ready for the first picking - so that will be great.
