Dear Broc

These will be green fly aka aphids. Look up how to treat them - I've always used chemicals on flowers but not sure about on tomato plants.

Droopy peas? Too wet? Too dry? Also have green fly?

Thank you gagarin. Have been googling and had already come to aphid conclusion - nice to have it confirmed. Am going to spray with mint tea and see if that does the trick.

Peas... too wet maybe? But the beans are no wetter and are thriving.

Try very dilute spray of washing up liquid and water for the aphids.

Peas are less tolerant of having their feet in wet water than beans.

Ahh. Too wet then. Will get them dryer.
