What's happened to my peas

This is my first season at veg growing so I'm sure I've made many mistakes, but my current dilemma is peas.

Up until a week ago I thought I had healthy pea plants, they were strong and had early pods, however literally within a couple of days they had all started to turn yellow and wither.

Coincidentally this was straight after the heavy rain.

I've only a small plot with peas, lettuce, carrots, spring onions and potatoes.

What could be wrong with my peas ????

 

Paul N The heavy rain could have made the area round your peas very damp + muggy which might cause them to rot, especially if there is little air getting at them. This has happened to my peas, the heavy rain flattened them + the bottom layer of the peas became very mouldy + they have strtd to rot!

 

i know i should have thined out my carrots
but they look lovely and green,maybe i will get one great big carrot and it will feed the neighbourhood

 

I could only think that the rain had something to do with it as they were perfectly healthy plants before.

Another lesson learnt !

 

hi

same has happened to mine :( had quite a few peas of the plants too but have gone yellow i have started some more off but bet they will end up the same with this PANTS WEATHER

 

nice looking carrots by the way paul welldone let me know how they go on as i want to try them next year if we get any sun that is !!!

 

Hi all, the rain is not only flattening things it is also leaching the nutrients out of the soil so don`t forget to feed. Kathy, there`s nothing wrong with your carrots just keep an eye on them and make the most of "baby" carrots.David.
