Title: Runner beans. Leaves turn yellow after planting out from pots.
Post by: parky on June 11, 2015, 21:29:50
 Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and need some help.  After planting out my runner beans from pots, some of the leaves on some plants have started to turn yellow, and the plants look sickly.  They were healthy looking when I planted them out.  They were grown from seed in peat with a little growmore added.  I am really at a loss as to what to do here, and fear that I may lose the plants.  Any help please?

firstly welcome to the site its full of fun and advice no your beans i think it could a couple of prob firstly it maybe shock coming out of a nice warm place  into the big wide world secondly the wind can burn beans very easy this i think is your main cause and if you give them some protection will go on to thrive hope this helps

Good advice from johhnyco, I would add do not loose heart. I have had beans snap off because I've not protected them like he advises and they have sent out another shoot and done well eventually. Obviously that sets them back so not the best way!
Welcome to the forum :wave:

Too cold at night or too wet, they will come round when they are ready.

Welcome to A4A. 

We do like a bit of humour here, so many apologies, but I think your beans got a bit parky. :tongue3:

Some of mine have gone yellow too, I am hoping they will perk up when the night warm up.  We have had some very chilly morning.

Mine have too. Needed room so put them out with fingers crossed but was over optimistic about Cornish weather and got some cold nights. Happened before so I should have known better, but they always get going in the end, just a bit late.
