Look at me peas...

...last season..I just got them growing magnificent and got powdery mildew...I cut the water..applied a couple of treatments..bicarb..and milk wash...but...
When you grow them in such close contact....once one has it it is almost inevitable the rest do...

..
I was moaning to me mother about it...

...and she said mmmmm...powdery mildew......most people think it is a disease of over watering...but you know it is a disease of under watering.................... don't you.....?....

...so this season they are getting extra water...and a bicarb spray weekly as a preventative...
#FingersCrossed huh...?....

...I see first flowers...if I get one pea pod...even if it is flat..for Xmas day... I'll take it as good luck for the season...

..peas are my second favourite crop....
