Even though I planted powdery mildew resistant peas, they have mildew. Is neem the best thing to spray to stop it? Is there anything else I can spray that won't harm the honeybees? Does neem hurt ladybugs?
In the photo there are also leafminers, I'm not worried about those.
Probably more a factor of being so late in the season; the last of mine were harvested 2/14. They do a bit better thru the cold humidity but don't hold up well to warm humidity at all around my place, anyway.
2/6 and these edible podded peas looked good--had I left them much longer, they would look horrible (much, much worse than yours!)--these were harvested 2/14.
Debbie, thanks. They were looking great right up till we had the two weeks of cool weather. I looked at them yesterday and so far the pea part looks okay. I'm just doing a "watch and see" with them.
just ignore the leaves and the peas should be harvestable soon--employ selective vision!

I picked a cloth grocery bag almost full last week, probably that many more this week. These are the best bearing peas I've ever had.
I pulled the last of the carrots for the season, 'Amarillo', a real short row. I'll miss the winter season veggie's, in a lot of ways I like them better than the summer ones. But I need room for green beans--we are about to loose our window of opportunity for planting them--it will be hot by May.
I still have carrots in three stages yet. I have beans in a bunch of stages, from almost finished to brand new seedlings.. The beans do good here till about July.
It was chilly here yesterday and super windy. We added 70 x 35 extension to the garden.
DMJ how do you know when your carrot are ready?? Those look soooo good!!
I pull one with about an average sized top--and judge it by that and how long they've been growing.
80 degrees here yesterday and today--its always really windy here in the spring, nothing unusual about that.
