Title: To Pea or not to pea.............that is the question
Post by: helsbels_89 on August 09, 2008, 11:51:38
Hi

I have some peas that were doinf really well. Went to visit them after a few days and the leaves are now covered in white mould. I know peas susceptible to this but my question is wether the peas are ok to eat? If so will pick them all and get rid of the plants.

My second question is i have bought some"Growing Success" organic slug killer pellets, does anyone know if they are any good?

Thanks

That's mildew; it likes damp conditions, so is the air free to move around your peas? the peas will be fine, there's no need to root out the plants prematurely.
