I've had mine go through snow and frost, and they do well. In fact, this last year I planted the earliest ever, and had the best pea harvest! Nope, the peas will be just fine!

You mentioned that peas can be planted outdoors 9 weeks before the frost date for spring planting. I have never planted BEFORE the frost date. Would I need to cover the garden at night, or would the peas survive the nightly frosts? Hello!

If it's still really hot, be sure to water regularly and maybe offer some shade. http://www.mysquarefootgarden.net/newsletter-dates/

I planted peas in a half whiskey barrel container in rich garden soil. They're about 3" high now and no sign of blossoms or peas. April and May were very cool here, even some frosty nights, but now it's in the high 50s at night and 70s, even 90s during the day. Should I give up on peas this year and harvest the greens for salads and then plant for fall? Your advice is appreciated. Oh, and I forgot to mention.
