The plan was to let them die back, but the spring has been cool enough they haven't done that yet. We've harvested plenty of peas but I'm not seeing as many flowers anymore. The melons, squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes planted in with them are ready to start growing up the trellis, but I'm a little worried there will be lack of air circulation because the peas are still so full and leafy.

Some of the squash and the cucumbers aren't waiting for me to figure out what I want to do, but the rest are still only a few inches tall. Should I cut the peas back or just lay them down sideways or something while they finish up? I really want to keep them so they can continue contributing nitrogen, but just worried about air circulation.

Have I already talked myself into a solution in there somewhere...?
