- **Garden/shelling peas**: pick when pods are **plump, firm, and bright green**. You should be able to feel rounded peas inside, but the pod should still look fresh, not dull or yellow.
- **Snow peas**: harvest when pods are **flat and tender**, before the seeds inside swell much.
- **Snap peas**: pick when pods are **full-sized, crisp, and still glossy**, with small to medium peas inside.
