Re: My first year Sweet Peas..

Ok, take a deep breath. Now out. In.....

Don't worry about it. When you see the pods, just pick them. Can't say I've
ever tasted a sweet pea pod, can't say I haven't either. The flowers are
edible, the pod must be. The plants won't stop flowering unless you let
these pods take over and mature. Just pick 'em as soon as you see them.

BTW, where do you live that you've never seen sweet peas before?
