  Reply | Contact I have recently planted out my sweet pea plants after growing them from seeds.  The leaves on a lot of the plants have started to turn yellow and they look as though they are going to die.  It is a very hot spell at the moment so I water them every evening.  Is it possible to over water them?  I have looked to see if there are any pests on the leaves and cannot see anything.  The plants had a good strong root system when I planted them out.  What could be the problem?  I am growing them up a trellis.
