Peas and Mildew? and the Pumpkin too..
« on: August 20, 2011, 11:30 »
My Kelvedon Wonder are covered in Mildew but still producing peas. Shall I pull and are they still okay to eat? Also my pumpkin plants are the same. I did Yellow Sulphur these but it's on all the leaves now. Shall I just continue watering etc?

The peas will be perfectly OK to eat; the plants will presumably be well past their best anyway by now.

Not much else you can do about the mildewed pumpkin plants except remove the oldest and worst-affected leaves which will help by improving air circulation. Keep them well watered but try not to wet the leaves if possible.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Thanks Jay. Will do as advised. Unfortunately my dogs eat the peas before I get to them. x
