Hi,

What do you mean 'beware of mildew if too dry'?  I tend to get mildew on many
of the peas I grow here.  I had always assumed it was because of the sometimes
moist air here  (Is this true?),  and have been trying different varieties to
see which grow and produce best.    

Is there anything I can do to reduce the amount of mildew I get?

Janet.
