Hi, My snow peas have flowered and produced wonderful snow peas, good size and everything, but i was wondering whether or not the need pruning, (bottom leaves taken off) and how i can get more snow peas to grow. they are only growing from the top stems not the bottom or side shoots. will the eventually grow from side or do they only produce pea's at the top of the plant?

Also as above to my first comment i forgot to mention that my snow peas are turning yellow (The bottom leaves) i do not use much fertilizer although i did put a slow release fert on yeasterday to try to fix them.. (turning yellow (leaves) from bottom up.... they are planted directly into the ground, not a built up bed, could the cause of this be too much water? or too much sun??
