Any Ideas?

Hi

This is the first time l have grown galaxy runner beans in containers and l water them most nights. The leaves are turning light brown and crumbling. Do they have a disease or am l over watering them???

Just started growing vegs and still finding my way.

Wind damage possibly. Do you have a photograph?

[Alithegardnerlover]

No, wind damage didn't even cross my mind and thinking about it they are in a windy spot.

Thanks for your quick response.

You're welcome. A picture of them would help identify 100% though - maybe tomorrow. Lots of wind damage occurring at the minute - you're not alone!

Sounds like wind damage but as VVG says a pic would really help. Also if you could put your location in your profile as different parts of the country can vary greatly.

I have attached 2 pics, hopefully you can see them from this link. Let me know if you have any problems. Also l am based in Kings lynn Norfolk, which l will add to my profile.



Thanks for your help

Looks like the link hasn't worked in the last post, so l will try again.






What do you think ????

They do look a bit crispy, where are they - it's hard to tell from your photos

[Alithegardnerlover]

They were in a fairly windy spot but l have now moved them to behind the shed. As it's the only shelter l have.

I like your profile pic.

Looks like win damage to me. Wrap some fleece around them.

I've got a couple looking like that around my wigwam, but the new growth is ok so they'll be fine. I grow them in the same place every year and it's very open and windy, nowhere else for them. If you've moved yours to somewhere a bit more sheltered I'm sure they'll recover.

Hard to say for deffo, does look like wind damage but do you make the sun as gone off the plants before watering?

Thanks for all your tips, they are really helpful. Hopefully l will get some beans this year.

It's wind damage, look at mine: wind burn | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

They will grow nice new leaves though

[Alithegardnerlover]

Thanks for sharing your pic. I have now moved them to a sheltered spot and they are producing new leaves. So fingers crossed l will get a few beans.
