blight on peas???
« on: September 04, 2017, 15:56 »
I planted my 3rd row of peas, (Hurst Greenshaft), on the 26 of June, hoping that I wasn't too late, now they seem to be covered, (and it has been getting worse over the last 2 weeks), with, for want of better words, with mildew, can I take it that this is the dreaded "blight", the beans next to them aren't affected at all. It was only an experiment in the first place, so to learned from it is very helpful. But is there a way of avoiding or controlling or even  banishing it, other than planting earlier. Thank you for all views, arh.

Not blight, just mildew - late peas always seem to get it here, in the same way courgette and squash leaves do.

I had some mildew on some pods but the peas inside them were ok. Hardly surprising to see mildew with all the rain we have had in the last month. 🌧
