Are my peas done now?

Looking at the pea plants (Oregon sugar pod) lots of the leaves are losing their colour and there doesnt seem to be sign of anymore flowers. I have had a few good harvests from them. The peas that are remaining have been left a little to long tbh. This is my first year growing them so i'm not too sure what to expect but I read somewhere that if you don't pick the peas soon enough they will stop producing anymore from there on, not sure if this applies to all types? I'm also asking because if they are done i have other things that could use the space, but i dont want to take them out if they still got some juice left in them.

    Mine aren’t far behind yours. Also sugar snaps. Last handful of pods left. Little or no new flowers and powdery mildew starting to set in. I think I’ll give them a week then pull them up. I’ve had a great crop from them this year.

    I had the same issue with mine, though, I pulled them out this afternoon to use the space for other vegetables

    I made a late sowing and they are still not planted out but have their first flowers. Must plant them out.
