Sayonara snap peas

When do you retire your snap peas?

Mine continue to sprout new growth, but the old growth is getting rather brown and crispy. Pea pods are still growing, but each new pod is smaller than the one before.

Will my snap peas make it though the summer? Do they grow bitter in hot weather like other cool season crops?

Or should I dig them up and replant in the late summer/early fall?

My snap peas got cut down about 2 weeks ago. I have them on a trellis where I’m also trying to grow pole beans, and the beans just weren’t growing. I don’t think I’ll try this experiment again. The snap peas shade out the beans too much.

Pea production is way down, but I’ve seen a lot of mature ladybugs and their larvae on my snap pea vines, so I’m leaving them up for a while longer.

i’m curious if snap peas can be replanted and when. they’re by far my most favorite thing from my garden.
