Any ideas what might cause pea leaves to curl? All of my newly planted batch, put out about 3 weeks ago, are affected.
It looks like the same sort of curling that weedkiller contamination causes, and they are growing in a bed I used manure on, but I'm almost certain that it's not that, because
-Although they are curling, they are still growing fairly strongly. One of them is even flowering already.
-The person I got the manure from assured me that it was from organic pasture, and judging by the number of weeds that were in the field, and the number of weed seeds in the manure, I can but believe him.
-Most important of all, I have quite a lot of other stuff growing in soil manured with the same manure, including beetroot, multiple different brassicas, and a grape vine, and all are growing fine without any signs of distortion. And brassicas and vines, especially, are meant to be very susceptible to damage from weedkiller contamination, so if there were any at all you would think they would show it.
There don't seem to be aphids in the leaves, either, so I'm rather out of ideas.
I suppose that since the vigour seems little if at all affected it's probably nothing I really need to worry about, but I'd still like to know what's causing it.
