Greenshaft Peas and mildew

[compostpope]

Thanks for your reply Charles – I would sow soon as you suggested, but as I can’t get Greenshaft here in Switzerland I’ve had to order from Amazon and they inform me that the seeds will not arrive before the end of the month – so will have to sow late rather than early. I’ve read that Greenshaft are resistant to downy mildew and fusarium wilt so I hope to get a decent crop – am I right in thinking that mildew is less likely if plants are kept well watered?
