Yellow runner beans
« on: July 25, 2012, 09:31 »
Hi,

My runner bean plants are distinctly yellow, could this be because of the recent excessive rain or is there another explanation?.

I would very much appreciate any advice on this matter.

Regards Trevor.

possibly a combination of cooler conditions as well as rain and diluting down/washing away nutrients from the soil.  The heatwave should help but also give them a liquid nitrogen feed to boost them up and hopefully they'll recover.

Agree 100%   :)

Miracle Grow would be a good choice for a quick nitrogen boost and would also supply other elements which could have been leached away (there are other choices, of course.)
