Veg - Pea "Bloom" and Further Planting
Hi all
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? TIA Phil |

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. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |

The peas (Onward variety IIRC) have developed a white powdery covering - any ideas what this is? Powdery mildew. Don't think it hurts the peas inside but it will spread to the leaves too. Maybe a bit of powdery sulfur will kill it off. 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? TIA Phil Don't know what the weather is like there, Phil. You may be able to get the spinach started for next year and some onions by seed and garlic. Doesn't matter if the corms or the seeds start to shoot up, they'll survive the winter. Don't forget to prepare the soil first. Add some bone powder for the bulbs too. Tried it here in SW Idaho and we get some harsh winters at times and the plants have survived. -- signature goes here |
