This is on my sweet peas - is this mildew?

I read somewhere (prob on here!) to spray it with milk/ water mixture, but wanted to check the diagnosis first?

Thanks guys, as ever!

i have the same thing on my squash leaves :(
and earlier, on my lamb's lettuce - though have pulled that up and destroyed.

diagnosis and course of treatment would be helpful indeed!

any of the experts out there?

looks like meldew to me i have it on my sweet peas to, have it on quite a few different plants must be a bad year for it

Yes, it's mildew and my sweetpeas have it too.   :(

Spray with 1 part full fat milk to 9 parts water and don't forget to wash the container out thoroughly afterwards, unless you are found of the smell of sour milk!   ;)

Have tried out the milk/ water treatment - 3 days running, has worked a treat! thanks very much  ;D

Well, once a week is the recommended dose but if it has worked that's great!   ;D
