yellow beans

[alison barnett]

Hi have a problem with my runner beans they have been in the garden for about 3 week. Grown from seed indoors but have now started to go yellow any ideas they have been protected from frost. And not over watered.

if they been in their containers for a bit they might need a feed

Do you mean the beans themselves or the leaves?

Probably the wind if you are in the UK.....if might help if you pop your location into your profile.

If in pots as LD says, they might have run out of food - I'd give them a feed of seaweed or tomato food to try and perk them up.....or any general feed if you don't have the above.

I am in the Midlands and my beans that were put out last weekend have been shredded by the wind....

they were in pots but have been out in the garden for the last 3 weeks will try feeding them though

It's still a bit cold for runners ... isn't it? Esp. at night.

I put my beans out a week ago and all look really healthy bar 1 which is going yellow. I think I'me just going to pull that one up and replace it just to be on the safe side. I would be interested too know what's causing it though.

I think, like Two Sheds, that it's a bit cold. OK, they haven't actually been frosted but they don't make much growth if they aren't reasonably warm. They then get a check in growth and are more susceptible to cold and winds. Mine are still in the greenhouse. I'll be hardening them off from next week and planting out at the beginning of June. You don't say where you are. Could you pop your location in?
