Snow pea plants dying

Help, over the last week I have watched the snow peas dry up and shrivel. Got back from weekend away and they are well and truly past it. There has been plenty of water so it's not that. They had flowered and fruit was forming but alas no more. Any ideas?

Yeah, it is a bit too late for snow peas - too hot. Nurseries sometimes have plants for sale that are a bit borderline re: season, but I guess the climate can vary a lot across Sydney and also according to your own little backyard microclimate. Snow peas are best planted late Autumn-early Winter and like the cold. The flower buds form after any frost has finished. I tend to plant according to a 'What to sow when 'calendar. I think that the book Organic Vegetable Gardening (Annette MacFarlane) has a nice simple chart of what to sow when. Bookstores (or ABC shop) sell it or you can get it online http://www.greenharvest.com.au/books/organic_gardening.html

Hope that helps. I had better get back to my work! Catching up on the gardening blogs is a nice morning tea break though!
