I've planted snow peas, they are up to my hip, but no signs of flowers yet, is that OK.

I have tried to grow Snow peas a couple of times. The first time I couldn't manage the amount of peas that were produced, the second time I didn't get any at all. I think the best tip is to plant the seeds early enough for the plants to flower before a big frost, maybe March/April, it seems they need to flower b4 it gets too cold. I planted later the next time and no flower's (too cold) so no peas! I hope this helps.
