Mildew on peas?
I planted sweet peas and telephone peas on March 17th (of course). I
removed them yesterday as
both varieties ( including the pods that had developed) were covered
in a white dust. Would this be mould? At the base of the plants the
leaves were brown, dead and holey.
Any solutions to avoid repeat performance, please ?
(I am in the Northern Rivers area of NSW...subtropical)
