View the Peas page

01 Aug 10 Glen (Australia - cool/mountain climate)

for the first time ever i'm having problems growing peas. i'm new to the mountains region, and before have alwasy just put the seeds in,they've grown, then i eat them! This year the tall peas grew, but were demolished by downy mildew that also had rusty coloured dots (there seems to be a lot of diseases here), and the sugar snaps are v. slow and not looking healthy. Does anyone have any suggestions? I had to buy soil, and it's well enriched with mushroom compost, manure and blood and bone. many thanks.
