I'm not sure how long they are supposed to crop for, but having checked my records from previous years, the mange tout last for about a month before the leaves turn yellow and production slows down. Plus, during the week the plants took a battering from the wind and collapsed on themselves so were even more tangled than normal.
They always seem to stop just before the french beans start producing too... not sure if that's coincidence or design, but I'll be picking a few of these later today.
