Alaska peas leave turned yellow

Rockporter · May 17, 2017

I don't know if it was disease or what and I can't get a photo on here. The leaves began yellowing at the bottom and moved their way up the plants. The peas weren't even at maturity yet and I decided to pull the plants. I don't know if it is just too hot for them or not but the yellowing went all the way to the top on some of the plants. I planted them according to my zone and it should have been okay, but I think we have just had too many hot days.

They were looking like this picture I found on the web. Could it be that they were just too hot and not really a disease?

Rockporter, that's exactly what it means. I don't what it means anywhere in cooler growing areas, but our Sugar Snap Peas did that a couple of weeks ago. It was time to harvest when I started seeing the lower areas turning a yellowish color. Garlic does the same thing and so does elephant garlic. It seems to happen so quickly.

No way could a person grow good garlic or peas or potatoes this year with the weather we had all winter.

We certainly have had some roller coaster weather this year. My peas have been slow and are just starting to bloom, but we also are expecting 90F weather today and tomorrow.
