Hi J52. Yes that does make sense. One minute its baking hot and the next its pretty chilly! They seem to still be growing strong but look a little unsightly. Perhaps they will recover as they grow. Thank you.

The weather has not been kind to newly grown plants. I suspect that the change from extremely hot weather to cooler, then all the rain has affected the leaves.
Are the plants still climbing and upright? If so I wouldn’t worry too much.

My previously healthy, well growing sweet peas have all suddenly started to look like the attached photo. It seems to have happened over the last couple of days. I googled a bit but can't seem to find anything that looks the same. I don't think its leaf miner as there are no 'trails' and its not powdery mildew. I cant see any insects that might be eating them. Are there any sweet pea experts have any ideas please? They were grown from seed indoors and planted out about a month ago. They are currently about 18" high and were going well until now. Thanks for any advice.
