Title: Pea Moth
Post by: steven c on April 30, 2024, 07:34

we normally grow Alderman peas very good crop but we have suffered with pea moth both at home and allotment [now only growing at home] we are trying Kelvedon Wonder in the hope they are done by time moth comes? I am going to try Alderman as a later sown crop to avoid moth has anyone an idea when to sow i was thinking mid May I read that moth is about between June and July.

Problem with later sowings is that mildew can badly affect a later crop of peas

I've not had problems with pea moth from sowing early  March, but I've not grown a big maincrop pea plant like alderman for a few years. I just sow various sugar snaps and mange tout now, which  maybe go to 4ft max so could well be a bit quicker
