Default Peas flowering instead of growing

I started off some peas in pots in the greenhouse a while ago, but
became too busy to plant them out when they were ready, so they sat for
an extra couple of weeks in their pots feeling sorry for themselves.
When I did plant them out, they just sat there for a while (another
couple of weeks) and are now trying to flower, still at only about six
inches high. This is a climbing variety that's supposed to reach six foot.

I know I've maltreated them and they're reacting to that. But if I pull
off these flower heads rather then letting them set, will the plants
start growing again now and produce more flowers, or is there nothing
more I can do for them?
