Anyone dealt with fusarium wilt?
I am losing my peas to Fusarium wilt. 
I am quite certain that is what is causing their sudden demise. My worry is that the fusarium fungus (which also affect tomatoes and peppers) will spread in the soil and kill my other plants. My peas are only about 18" from the peppers, and they are several feet from the tomatoes. None of my plants are fusarium resistant. This is my first year gardening and I planted all heriloom varieties.
Also, this fungus can live in soil for up to 10 years. So now I have two choices. Next year I can sterilize the soil and miss an entire season of gardening or I can try planting resistant varieties and hope for the best.
Anyone have any advice? Mostly I want to know if my peppers and tomatoes are likely in danger....How long does it take for the fusarium to spread throughout a garden.
I am totally bummed out. I've already lost all my broccoli to cabbage root maggots and now I might lose everything else except my beans and carrots. UGH!

I was online for a couple hours yesterday searching for further info. I can't seem to find anything specific that deals with the different types of Fusarium between peas/tomato/peppers etc. Is it a different fungus that only attacks one type of plant, or will it spread...? If it's the former, then next year I just won't plant peas, or I'll plant a resistant variety and hope for the best.
But I'm in trouble if this will infect all my garden soil.
I don't know the answer to this. I have no expertise with edibles. I actually would be delighted to reseach fusarium (I love plant pathology) except I am drawing two big land use proposals at the moment.
