Beans: Can seedlings get mosaic virus?
« on: May 26, 2020, 19:54 »
Hello
In the last week or so my newly transplanted courgettes have succumbed to 'something' grim, the broadbeans have got chocolate spot and the bottom leaves on the peas have brown streaks so I've spent way too much time in the last few days googling plant diseases.  So maybe I'm just working myself up into a lather but I'm really in two minds about whether to plant out my bean seedlings?

I sowed firestorm beans indoors. They sprouted about three days ago and have grown huge in that time ... but now I'm worried - all of the plants look distinctly blistery.... and quite a dark green for a runner bean (or a lot darker than scarlet runner anyway).  Am I worrying about nothing or do they need to go in the bin?

Hi they look perfectly fine to me (very healthy in fact) so I wouldn't worry!

Also my broad beans always get chocolate spot, blackfly etc and I still get a crop so not every plant ailment is a disaster :)

Thank you Silva!  I can't believe how big they have got in a few days. I'm going to plant them today and spray them with milk (which apparently can stave off infection - bet it smells pretty grim once the milk starts to turn though)

Also thanks for the Broadbean reassurance !
