my courgette plants are looking rather sick - see attached picture.  the leaves are covered in white stuff & are very brittle.  they are still cropping, although not so prolifically as they were a whole back (which is something of a relief to be honest)

unfortunately this seems to have spread to my peas in an adjacent row, which are now looking rather dead & have stopped cropping 

can anyone advise what this is?  I have some squash in the other adjacent row, which are doing rather nicely, & I'd hate for them to get hit too

many thanks

It's mildew, it's just the weather and the time of year.
That's why people aim to grow and harvest peas earlier in the year.

Courgettes and squash/pumpkins often get it as well, not a lot you can do about them apart from pulling off the spoilt leaves.
here's another thread about it

and those  peas are coming to the end of their lives as well, so compost heap for them too

many thanks.  I started my peas a bit late, will get them in a bit earlier next year
