Default Veg - Pea "Bloom" and Further Planting


"TheScullster" wrote
Seem to be getting reasonable-to-good results from most crops this year
(only a small garden plot in yorkshire ~ 10 sq metres).
The peas (Onward variety IIRC) have developed a white powdery covering -
any ideas what this is?

What can I plant once the peas and potatoes are gone? Any veg still
suitable for planting at this time of year which will mature before/over
winter?

It's mildew and caused by lack of water usually, Onward should be going over
now anyway as it's usually used as an early pea.

Other than salad crops I can't think of anything except the Garlic will need
to be planted in a month or so.
