Pea Mildew

Its not unusual to get powdery mildew on a late crop of peas. I am pretty sure it won't affect next years crop and there are chemical controls you can use.

Pick the peas now and burn the plants would be my advice.

Bloomin eck. I'm surprised it's taken this long to happen. I usually get mildew on my peas by late August. As Pots says, pick the peas and dispose of the tops. I just put mine in the green refuse bin.

Tell me about these chemical controls please mate. If they work, they are worth a fortune. If anything is certain in gardening, it is that peas will eventually suffer from powdery mildew at the end of the season

I've had very few peas on the plot this year, because powdery mildew got them all, every sowing (even so-called "resistant" Varieties). The only decent plants were those grown at home
