Allotments 4 All

I have planted out some lettuce and brassica plants from the greenhouse (not in the same bed) and some of the leaves have gone a very pale, almost white colour.  I've never seen this before  - any ideas?  We have had a few cold nights.

I think you have answered for your question...quite likely the cold..

I am sorry the picture isn't very good but this was one of my dwarf french bean plants last year. The leaves were a lovely deep green colour when I planted them then after a day of being in the cold they turned white. The plant did survive and produced many more green leaves later on.

Thanks for that pic Duke, my french beans look exactly like that, I won't worry now!

Yes I guess it must be the cold, it only occured to me as I was writing the post.  I expected the cold to do even more damage which was why I wasn't sure - spuds are in a much worse state but seem to be recovering.  Greenhouse full of beans waiting to go out - maybe another week.
