Default White/grey patches on my peas

This has developed over the course of a few weeks on my older sugarsnap pea plants, and I thought it must be that the plants were coming to the end of their life. However, the other plants that I planted several weeks after the first lot, have started to develop the same - and they have only just started to flower/fruit.

I did take some photos on my phone last night whilst I was there, but I will have to wait until later to load them on here.

Does anyone know what it might be, or had anything similar?

Tis mildew my friend and some of my peas have it as well. Water well and give them a spray with 1 part milk to 3 parts water if your organic or something suitable from a garden centre if not.

Thanks for that - I did suspect something like that having heard people refer to mildew here before, but always good to ask.

Thanks for the treatment tip.

Full fat, or semi?
