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?


Mildew - it's because it's been such a dry year.

Clear the affected plants, and next year, water well and often (or pray
for
rain).

I tend to compost mildewy things, but I suspect I should really burn them.

Thank you Victoria

I hope it is ok to compost them 'cos I have done that too
