Sweet peas - mildew on leaves

Hi can anyone advise whether the silver on the leaves of my sweet peas is mildew & the best way to treat it.  It seems to happen every year even if I plant them in different locations.

is this a common problem with sweet peas?  The flowers are still beautiful & plentiful

thank you

    Thank you, I thought I must be doing something wrong. My dad never has this problem with his image (as he regularly reminds me!)

    Ive had it the past 2 years, this year I have just started trying an organic spray by vitax but as yet I don't know whether it's a success or not. It is apparently due to close planting and under - watering, but I just think its one of those things as mine were planted at a good distance and watered daily image

    I not only get it on my Sweetpeas but also on Roses, i use a spray quite early on in the season, one that helps with bugs as well mildew,
