harvesting sweet pea pods
I successfully grew 2 types of sweet peas this year and now I’m wondering how to care for them over winter

I want to know if I should cut the plants down this fall or wait until the spring. I also want to know if I should “harvest” the seed pods or should I let them pop open on their own on the plants?
I especially need to know which is better for the plants: Cutting them down after they’ve finished blooming this year, or leaving them up over the winter and cutting them back in the Spring. (Yes, they are still blooming and new flowers are still coming out.)Also, regarding the seeds. I know they’ll grow both ways, but I want to know which will yield more plants next year.

this fall? are you on the right site its autumn over here and you dont care for sweet peas its what us brits call an annual plant it it flowers sets its own seed then dies that’s your lot possible to keep seed but will not come true to colour of original have a nice day
