The peas are just starting to climb, but they are under attack with what appears to be fusarium.
Did a moderate search online (it led me to this forum). I have not found a remedy to kill the fungus right now. So are my pants doomed?
They were panted in a City Picker planter, you feed the water into a reservoir below.
I thought some chemical could be added into the water to kill the fungus?
I see you are in Maryland. IMHO I think it is unlikely the peas have Fusarium in your planter. The pea season is ending or over now, they do not like hot weather or warm nights, I think you planted them too late... but it could also be related to soil and watering issues (or both). Can you post a picture?

I don't think bringing them in will accomplish anything. If your peas are done, they are done. When did you plant them? Peas are cold weather crops that should be planted "as soon as the ground can be worked," which for me is about a month earlier than my average last frost date.

Well, if you pick very many of them, it would. Most plants, if they aren't under some other kind of stress, have more leaves than they need, and can easily sacrifice 10% of them (which is why they can withstand attack by leaf eating bugs etc). I never thought about eating pea leaves either, but I do eat leaves off my broccoli plants. (Broccoli is very similar to cabbage and we eat those leaves all the time.)
