Pea leaves turning pink

[jessmorris]

Hello there,
my peas have been in about 5 days and leaves are blushed with pinky-mauve - any ideas?? They are big seedlings of around 10" high..
Any thoughts welcome!

Hi, do you know what variety they are?

[Flummery]

They can get a red tinge at the end if they're cold but it's been fairly mild recently (I had my purple mangetouts our in February - they cope ok). Some purple podded plants can have dark coloured leaves but not pink. Can you post a picture?

[jessmorris]

MM, they are either a purple podded variety OR an ordinary pea, can't remember which I planted where. I can try and get a pic tomorrow.
Thanks for all answers so far!
JM
