before dying back but they made it through and are producing nicely now -- has been 70s with rain every 3 days for a while now.

Most of the snow peas sold in US supermarkets are flown in from Guatemala where they are grown in the mountains to avoid high temps and extend their season by growing at different altitudes. I find the supermarket snow peas to be rubbery unless they were just received. I love them fresh off the plant (and so do my dogs).
