Me peas've gotten mildew on the leaves. Is there anything I can do about it? Will it hurt the crop?

If your organic, spray with milk. if not I cant help with the chemical side, sorry Si d.

Mine got mildew as well but we had just finished cropping the peas, I would say if the pods are ok just eat them. Once the pods get mildewy the peas would begin to taste off, I would guess anyway.

Diluted milk as star said, bicarb of soda, neem, all slow down mildew but you won't get a cure, sorry.
