It kind of vines, has small pretty purple flowers, and now all the flowers are gone and there are seed pods much like peas, and even the seeds inside look like peas, but much smaller.

I've planted peas before, but they had little white flowers and different leaves. This plant had long leaves that kind of look like grass blades.

I'm guessing sweet pea. It is ornamental. One of my favorite old fashioned plants- reminds me of my grandmother's yard...Hummingbirds love them!

Google Lathyrus latifolius, the perennial sweetpea (is naturalized in many areas), see if that matches yer thing?
