I have 3 varieties of pea, Onward, Kelvedon Wonder and Mangetout. On all 3 the leaves have a variation in the colour. Is this normal ?

The colour of the foliage will reflect the nutrients each plant finds in the soil. As each plant could well be in marginally different soil, they may well all be slightly different in colour. -
Mine usually look like that. I don't worry about it and I get decent hauls of peas. You can agonize too much!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

I don't feed peas, I just plant them, put in the twiggy sticks and leave them to it. Having said that, I only grow them to pick and eat outside!Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

That's what I do, apart from the mange tout which freeze well.Originally posted by Florence Fennel View Post

All the peas I've grown have had the same markings on them, either in the garden or on the plot.
Definitely nothing to worry about
