I've only tried peas once, disastrously, but you've inspired me to have
another go, thanks.
Saved post to file, I hope you don't mind.
Mary, if your problem was germination then it is usually due to mice
digging up and eating the seed, if your pods disappeared then that too is
mice. We have had to buy and use a rather powerful rodent bait to
overcome both those problems.
No, I suspect that there wasn't enough air circulation. They grew slowly
and developed a white bloom over every part of the plant. Pods did form
but very few. I know more about gardening now and would be prepared to try
again.
Sounds like mildew, a lack of water or intermittent watering is often the
cause.
