Here's the answer to your Plant Problem...

You asked:

How can I stop sweet peas getting powdery mildew?

Our Advice:

Sweet peas often have powdery mildew by mid-summer, but you can spray affected growth with Fungus Fighter Plus (Bayer) or Systemic Fungus Control (Doff). This mildew often indicates plants are not getting enough moisture, so keep them well watered.
