I planted two separate  batches of  beans out the other week, having started them from seed in trays on my window.  Though they showed a lot of new growth, which looks healthy enough, the old leaves have withered.  Strangely it looks like that might be happening to the ones I planted directly in the ground, too.

Would you cast your expert eyes over them, and tell me what you think, please?


A fellow allotmenteer suggested water deficiency.

Winds can devastate climbing and runner beans early on in the season. Most of them usually recover.

But always can give them a foot or so little fleece skirt for a few weeks, helps them along.
