Deformed French Beans

Thanks for thinking so much about this.  WE have had the plot for about 6 years, and took it on when it was a bit derelict.  It had I believe been out of cultivation for about a year, maybe two.  We have not imported any soil.   They previous guy was a "tradtitional" allotmenter, who would prorbably turn in his grave as to how we run our site!

I did spot on the winter onion bed which is a bit away some insects which looked like larvae basking themselves on the wooden surrounds. But if you touched them they did move. They were grey, slightly armour plated looking and about 5mm long.  They were infact soft and when I squashed them they were yellow.  Tried to google them, but never found out what they were.

I will try to get some photos, but it has been a busy week this week and we can usually only get down to the site at weekends

Hers an easy to follow link to posting pics..its worth learning as you will find yourself posting pics every now and again in future too
posting piccies

And a couple more for good measure

I know it isn't easy to see from the small piccies, but the manure was about 2 years old and went into the bed some weeks before the beans, but I would agree that they do look burned
