Title: Help, why are my Broad Bean leaves going yellow?
Post by: carosanto on April 05, 2009, 10:27:27
Hi Everyone.

I recently (with the help of the forum) grew and have now planted out some Broad Bean Plants.  They looked really healthy, but I notice that one or two seems to be looking a bit jaundiced!  Any ideas on my yellowing leaves?

Also, does anyone know what those tele gardeners use to spray mark out allotment plots.  It's some kind of white power but search as I may I can't find anything like it.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

Are the leaves that are yellowing new or old leaves?

By that I mean are the ones that are yellowing there when you bought/planted them?

My guess is they were and this is jusy a physilogical problem caused by the change in growing conditions i.e. Shop/Garden centre to outdoors.

The recent sunshine wont have helped either as this may have aggravated the bleaching.

Why would you want to paint your plot for? when a string line will serve the same purpose.

I would guess the 'white lining' is an idea of the producer rather than the experts i.e. it will show up better on camera.
