Is it the heat?

After my last post about non flowering alderman peas, the lowdown is that they had a mad rush of doing so, and those are now young or quite mature pods. But that seems to be it! The plants look like they are giving up for the year, and there will be no more after these get picked.......so has the hot dry weather done for them?

Here in Belgium they keep teasing us with forecasts of rain that never arrives!

You say the plants look like they are giving up. Are your plants yellowing etc.?  If so, they may be done.  However, if they are still nice and green, I'd try waiting through that forecast rain and see what they do.  As others have said, they may bloom and produce again.

If they are yellow and sickly, I can't offer much hope, except to say I hope I'm wrong.  Good luck with them.

I've never tried that, nor have I heard of that, but if you're in the mood for an experiment, why not give it a go!

I will say I have experience with a broad bean plant getting frosted down to ground level and sprouting back out again from the crown; I hadn't heard that Broad Beans could do that!
