Red patches broad bean pods

[Newbiegrower1970]

Is there something wrong with them or is it normal?

Check for chocolate spot or broad bean rust to see if it looks like what you're seeing. Otherwise, post a picture?

[Newbiegrower1970]

Neither of those seem to be on the pods.

Having looked into it more, it appears to be rust. Can I still eat the beans?

They will be fine just pick them young.

Thanks. They are mostly finished now anyway.
