Peas RIP to a severe case of powdery mildew

Posted on 05. Aug, 2007 by Tracey in My Veg Plot, Pests

I had to take all my peas out, they were lovely whilst they lasted. I had been eating the pods when there were a few white patches on the leaves, however this week the powdery mildew turned all the green leaves white and the pea pods were turning grey. So unfortunately they all had to come out of Plot 3 (Beans and Peas).

I have discovered there are pea varieties resistant to powdery mildew of which I will be trying next year. These include Kelvedon Wonder and Ambassador.
