A while ago when my peas were finished I noticed there was what looked
like
a white powder on the leaves. I noticed that some of the weeds that have
grown near there, which I went to clear out, have it too.

I am sure everyone except me will know exactly what it is but not me

Is this something that will spread? What can I do about it?

Hi Ophelia,
It's most probably botrytis (spelling?) a mould which is often
associated with plants in dry spells - it should give no probs next year -
you can spray with all sorts of nasties, but watering and a good root system
are all that's needed. (usually!)
