I thought that peas were a very early and/or very late-season crop. Do you usually plant them there this late in the spring, or this early, if you are planting for a fall crop? Or does the lake temper your weather so much that you can grow stuff like peas in the otherwise hot summer?
I just planted some Oregon Sugar Pod Peas here in Huntsville Alabama as a wild experiment.

Normally, I plant much earlier – I planted my sugar snap peas in early April, and did not get my Champion of England’s in until just last week from Seed Savers. The plot I am planting in is a few blocks from the lake, so I am hoping that they might survive – if not, I will just put in a few more carrots and truck on! It is a complete experiment at this point!
