well, i can't comment on your car (do you need to borrow some sea
creatures?) but i finally got round to trying the milk solution for
powdery
mildew on the curcurbits. omg, it seems to have worked!! (i can't believe
it
could be that easy). however, it's not made a dent on the powdery peas
whatsoever. i'm just completely over bloody peas & all the bloody hassle
&
then in the end you get hardly any pea for your trouble anyway. as a last
resort i am trying dwarf peas so at least there's no hassle with
soemthing
for them to grow up.

sorry, i've interrupted myself with a rant about peas.

It's bit early for peas (here, at least). I've just planted a dwarf
variety

so did i, so enraged am i about the whole pea issue! (my thinking is that
with dwarfs, one irritating element of the whole issue is nonexistent).
previously i had been putting in greenfeast, which are ok for summer (they
certainly were for me, anyway, except for the "too much trouble for too few
peas" issue).

but am not sure if they will come up, as it's been so wet.

yes, exactly. i couldn't get sugar snaps coming up during the hot weather,
but that seems to have passed now ::-) i don't find sugar snaps to be
troublesome though - either they come up or they don't, either way it's no
trouble.
