Hi welcome to the forums, sorry you first post is about a problem.

This is probably blossom end rot & usually down to consistent watering. There have been several posts on this recently, a forum search should bring them up.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

DD, do you get blossom end rot at the stalk end?  Thought it was just the, er, bottom end

Oh, and welcome miajoe
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Quite right too Yorkie...you see the question wasn't about peas :tongue2:
Sorry Miajoe, can you take a pic, might be a bit easier to tell what's wrong if we can see it :)

Is it botrytis causing rot at the stalk end?  I have lost some fruit to this for the first time this year.  Some varieties seem to be more prone to it than others and I won't be growing them again.

Meanwhile all you can do is remove affected fruit so that they do not contaminate their neighbours and try to increase air circulation in the greenhouse.

Cheers,

Gillie
