I do snow peas as I'm more likely to cook those here. I do have my very first yellow straightneck squash forming, growing in a pot. I'm excited about using more pots for more veggies. My potatoes are forming flower buds in their Smart Pots and my Swiss chard seeds have sprouted in their pot.

Mid July for my zone. For your zone 5 I would say for sure no later than 1st of July.

For fall peas you have to get your timing just right. Thing is with peas they can take pretty much a lot of cold weather in the fall, the plants will not die. But they will not set a crop once it gets too cold.

Really there is no difference in the way you grow snaps or snow peas.
