You should  be OK, but as regards peas, be prepared for the fact that they will be more susceptible to mildew and pea moth attack.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I found with a late sowing last year that covering the peas with debris netting helps to prevent pea moth issues. Doesn't help with the mildew problem though. I've just sown a couple of late rows...nothing ventured, nothing gained!

French beans will be fine. They are a warm weather crop.

Glad you said that as those in my greenhouse are cropping well but need some more to follow on.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I kept my late peas well watered last year and they managed to avoid mildew. Also put enviro mesh over them and that kept the pea moth away.
