Peas are usually planted in the very early spring (some people plant them for fall). They don't do well with heat. If the temps get too hot, they will croak. When do you plant them?

Perhaps you started the peas too late in the season? They are a cool season crop and don't tolerate heat well. Tall varieties though like Telephone and Super Sugar Snap do produce longer than dwarf varieties, but even they have their limits how much heat to take.

I am in Wi about an hour for the twin cities. My peas are doing really well. I planted them later than I should have and they are right now at their most productive phase. They are only getting about 5-6 hours of sun, which I think is helping them survive the warmer weather we are having now. I am growing Super Sugar Snaps, Oregon Sugar snaps and Mr. Big.

It is time for beans. Generally. in most places that daily highs climb over 85F, peas will not do well, instead there is an opportunity for beans. ...got to go with the flow.
