Are these a "determinant" variety of plant that shut down after a few bloom cycles?

I planted peas this year too. Got a few weeks worth of blooms and fruit out of them before they stopped flowering. I then researched the type I had planted and found out that once the temperatures get over 80F, they won't flower.

Oops.

Ya, that sounds like my story too.

Nice work guys. My granddad always had a saying about garden peas - they made two messes, you ate the first and cleaned up the second. Not a lot of bang for the buck with them. Snap peas or filed peas will fill your freezer.
