Do NOT use Miracle Grow on Peas, or was it the magnesium?

About 3-4 weeks ago I applied a foliar spray of Sevin, Miracle Grow, and a bit of Epsom Salt to the garden. The Epsom salt, magnesium, was mostly for the tomatoes and peppers. Then I got to the peas and thought, maybe I should not spray the peas, they were blossoming then and just starting to set pods and didn't want to interfere. Decided to spray just one of 6 stands of peas as a test.

Sure enough, that stand of peas went out of flowering and back to vining, grew twice as tall as the others and went yellow from the bottom up without setting very many pods at all, while the unsprayed stands of peas loaded down with pods.
