Hello, My fall crop of potted snow peas got off to a very good start, but in a short time, turned disastrous. The bottoms of the stems dried out and the leaves and peas became covered with white mold. I have been watering them once a week. Any ideas of what I did wrong????
Hi Saleve, Your peas have powdery mildew. The browning of the lower leaves could be fusarium wilt or near-wilt. I suspect it's near-wilt. For the powdery mildew you can spray with milk or baking soda. http://www.ghorganics.com/page15.html#Baking Soda Spray http://www.ghorganics.com/page15.html#Milk for Mildew: Here's info on the wilt diseases from this site with more helpful info on diseases of peas. http://www.ppath.cas.psu.edu/EXTENSION/VEGDIS/VegDisases/Identification_files/peas.html Newt
