The powdery mildew that I first noticed on the peas on June 23rd gradually spread up to cover pretty much the whole pea plants, but it never affected harvest at all. In fact it was a bumper harvest, very roughly 6 or 8 pints or so, which is plenty for my needs and I was able to share some too.
I pulled all of the pea plants today, and with that another couple of cups of final harvest. This will improve air circulation in the area, and allow sunlight through to the recently sowed buckwheat along the north wall.
Several zucchini and the cushaw are are all close in that area -- not seeing PM on them yet, but I wonder if they'll be among the first to show it...
