Mine are the same. Just the tips. The weather has been so dull this month that I'm turning yellow too.

Will do WG . It growing well perhaps a bit of nitrate needed?
Perhaps it is normal for them to get yellow tips.

If you're getting lots of rain, then you're getting too little light. Yellow tips are normal for now. They'll green up once better weather shows up.

Some of mine are exactly the same, the tips have a bit of yellow to them.
I have given them a very gentle pull and squeeze and they seem fine.
WG when can I be expecting to harvest?  :D

Put mine in 2'' deep (below the surface) and they ain't up yet  :(   Hope they are ok, perhaps i ought to dig one up and see what is going on.
