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?

I strongly suspect mildew, from your brief description. If I were you, I
would not worry too much about it. It is mainly in the confined spaces of
greenhouses that mildew is a real pain in the neck.


Thank you Franz
