Hi,
Maybe someone can help me with this question since no one seems to know on the vine forums. I grow Vigna caracalla, which is a pea. Actually they do eat it where it is indigenous, also use for cattle fodder. How long does one leave the pods on pea plants to assure viability of the seeds? Should I just leave them until the first frost? This plant does not bloom until September & the pods are getting fat but they are still green. Any help would be appreciated. I posted a picture of the plant so ya'll could see what I am talking about.

Thanks,
Loretta
