From what I remember of your weather when I used to live on the East Coast, your plan should work well. Tho only thing is that pole peas take longer, and produce longer than Sugar Ann. (which I love!)
I'd go for it, though, because you can always decide to pull the peas if it's time for the beans to go in. If you can bear to! lol
With the weather we had last year, our peas sat and did nothing for a month, then came like crazy in July and August. NOT a typical year, even for the PNW. My shell peas went by fast, but my Sugar Ann's kept going until late September. (Have I posted that before? Sorry if so.)
Ordinarily, I would say that you'd have no problem like that with your heat and humidity. But what's ordinary these days?
Have you planted yet?
