French Beans are sick (pics)

[MrKennethPorter]

I planted these out about three weeks ago . I turned compost deep into the soil .

They where started in a propagator but have not grown at all in since put out.

a few have died and the 3 remaining are getting yellow spots and are dieing.



this is very frustrating. they get 6 hours of direct sun everyday (weather permitting) I had to use veg insecticide on them as there was little black bugs on them already.

I started these 2 weeks ago inside in shamrock compost and seem to be a whole lot healthier. Same size as the 6 weeks old out side ones


What do I need to do to make them survive when out side?


the new plants need to go out soon I think.

The little paper pots I used and starting to spring leaks.

roots pushing through. they all seem in perfect condition . I hope to keep them that way.

You do not say where you are, but for most of the UK, I would say that it is far too early to be planting out French beans. They hate cold nights and are very temperature sensitive. I would cover them with cloches or fleece and see if you can save them.

im from Kildare Ireland. Same climate as yourselves.

I thought it would be ok for them now, as the frost had stopped. It has been cold non the less.
