Pollination of fall peas

[Post to this category]

How do my fall crop of peas get pollinated? The seed packages say "Plant in late summer for a fall crop." For the third year, now, my pea plants have a good number of blossoms, but no pods. Some have suggested using a soft brush to hand-pollinate each blossom. Still nothing. Is there a preferred time of day to do that? (It seems that four-o-clocks and morning-glories prefer certain times of the day.) Do I wait for a certain color of each blossom? Other characteristics to consider? There were still blossoms on my plants today. Thanks for any help. Ed
