    Looks like powdery mildew? Dry weather can make it worse, keep the plants well watered and try mulching. There are resistant varieties available for future reference. I don't know about chemical controls, but sulphur dust/spray might help.
    How near are the peas from cropping?

    Sorry for delay, my mate is moving house so I've been putting up bunkbeds n stuff:DOH:

    The peas are in different stages as I stagered the seeding, I've got a few that have finished so was gonna try some bicarb on them? they've had plenty of water!
