Really, you need to know if you have the annual or perennial sweet
peas. Annuals would be looking a bit tatty by now, may have a bit of
mildew, whereas (here at least) the leaves of the perennials ones are
still quite fresh looking and green. If in doubt, take a photo and put
it on something like Photobucket and post the link to it.

You say that, Sacha, but my annual sweet peas have just put in another huge
growth spurt! I have new branches of leaves all over the show! It's been a
/really/ funny year this year.
