Hmmm.... my pea plants are turning brown and drying up.
It started with just one pot, during the two hot days last week, so I just assumed that it had been overwhelmed, with not enough water, and no mulch.
So I watered it and mulched it (the other two pots where already mulched), and fed them all.
Now Pot #2 has dried out and turned brown, and pot #3 is going that way.
Is it possible that peas don't react well to direct sunshine ? I can't easily move the pots into a shady area (due to the support canes meshing into the standing unit) but I might try creating some shade with some leftover cardboard sheeting or something.
Any thoughts ?
