 Hi does anyone know what attacked these peas? It happened last year as well. Thanks

    It might be a nutrient deficiency. Often the symptoms don't become evident until flowering/fruiting occurs.  Try foliar feeding the remaining plants with a general purpose liquid feed which contains trace nutrients (this will be clearly stated on the label.)  If that is the problem, a good dose of well rotted farmyard manure in the Autumn to the area you will be growing them should prevent problems with next year's crop.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    okay I did put homemade compost in the soil before planting but I did not feed them. Thanks
