How to Save Seeds
Peas are primarily self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.
Allow pods to fully mature and dry on the plants until they turn brown and the seeds rattle inside the pods.
Some growers prefer pulling entire plants and allowing them to dry further before shelling, though this additional curing step is optional.
Once fully dry, shell the peas from the pods and store seeds in a cool dry location for future planting.
