I live in Wisconsin and I am able to have at least 3 plantings of snap peas during our growing season-April, June and August are my usual planting times.
Our growing season is fairly short here so we try to make the most of it.

Yes, Melinda–those are last year’s peas. Is anything yummier?

Emma, we planted them in later July, and we did have to water them more than the spring peas, but as I mentioned, they got afternoon shade, so it wasn’t a super-dry spot. Just watered them along with the rest of the garden. Good luck!

So, did you have to give your peas extra water planting them later? It’s dry here in July (Columbia River northwest of Portland)

I always let the kids plant the peas because they are so forgiving about spacing. I seem to get enation and aphids by June though which I thought was why you planted early? Maybe I’ll give some mid summer peas a whirl this year just for grins…I planted some peas in early fall and the vines are about a foot tall now although much of it washed away during the winter. Still we’ll have a few vines way ahead of the pack. Always fun pushing the envelope of maritime gardening!

Yes, to me they look heart stoppingly gorgeous. I’m assuming those are your green babies in the photo?
