I have a couple of trays of Ambasador peas on the go.  The tips of the leaves look like they have been caught by a frost, but only in the last couple of days.  I know the weather is a little odd at present,l but there has not been any sign of frosts.

The trays are in one of the small free standing greenhouses.  Could this be sun damage?  I noticed it yesterday after we had a fairly long sunny spell.

Most likely and did you water them overhead by any chance?

Water on the leaves can act as a magnifying glass and scorch the leaves.

I didn't water them but the plastic walls of the greenhouse were covered in condensation.  I'm wondering if this magnified the sun and scorched the peas?

More to the point, will the peas survive?  They did look very healthy before this happened.
