     it really depends upon the variety of pea.   
      
     some pods are great and best used well before   
   the seeds inside develop much at all.  others are   
   good later and as the pods fill out and the seeds   
   get plump.   
      
     and then there are others that the peas are   
   best left to get fully formed and dried down so   
   the peas can be cooked into soups.   
      
     some peas are good in all forms.

     worms will take care of 'em.  :)  i keep worms here   
   and they will compost pea pods from the previous summer   
   by the following spring.
