Unhappy to report today on a sad little bean in my garden…not really sure what is wrong with it, but all the leaves have drooped and curled. I’ve checked it for insects and there is nothing on the leaves. I know there is some evidence of green vegetable bugs perhaps or even a caterpillar from the holes in the leaves, but I can’t figure out what has caused my bean to look like this.
None of the other plants look like this – and this one was the healthiest of all! This is my first time growing climbing beans and this particular one is a variety called Yates Beans – Climbing ‘Purple King’.
I don’t think I’ve overwatered or underwatered it nor have I over fertislised it…so perhaps it has succumbed to some sort of disease. Or maybe it doesn’t like growing with leeks? Need to check my companion planting book perhaps. We’ve had pretty high winds over the past few days, but I don’t think that is the problem either. I just can’t figure out what the problem is. If anyone has any helpful information – I’d really appreciate it. I don’t want all my other bean plants looking like this!
