Encourged by you last year I sowed peas about now and they did not produce anything at all.  I suppose they added nitrogen to the soil grew very good calabrese this year on the same spot.

Hot here too.  81F.

It was not the frost that was a problem  it was the vole.   It ate them all.   :o

I will have to try a much taller variety.  The ones I sowed in October under plastic bottles cropped well in spring, I think it must hibernate.
