I have grown sweet peas from seed and then planted outside. With a couple of weeks they have developed a disease on the leaves. 2 out of 6 plants are affected. I enclose a photograph

    Not a disease - hungry slugs/snails

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I wouldn't worry, they will overcome that and romp away.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I'd say there's some leaf miner damage, as well as some slug damage. They're particularly prone to them both. 
    It's why the bottom of sweet peas usually look pretty dreadful. It's a good idea to have pots or other plants in front of them if you grow them in a bit of the garden you can see them readily.   :)

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
