It started out just being a few leaves on some of my bean plants... the yellow shell bush beans. The leaves kept turning yellow. I'd trim off the yellow ones. add extra water. But then I'd come back out the next day and more yellow leaves.

Now my pole bean leaves have started turning yellow. I've also got a squash plant that produced one fruit about a month ago and hasn't produced any more... and now it is starting to yellow on me. I've got another squash plant on the other side of the garden that is doing fine though. well I think one leave is starting to yellow a bit, but it's producing. Strange thing is the unhealthy squash is on the otherside of the garden from the healthy squash next to the yellowing bean plants.

I was thinking it was this heat... the weather man says it's only getting to 96f or so but When I drove by the bank the other day it read 101f. Now there is an out door watering ban on during the day, but I think the plants should still be getting plenty of water.

Although now with the yellowing starting to spread I'm curious if it might be a fungi or something. I don't see any bugs munching on anything.

I dunno anyone have any advice. again I'm in 7a/b a little west of Atlanta.

Don't worry about them getting enough water if theres a water ban, because it sounds like they are getting too much right now. That seems to be the most common cause of yellowing leaves, atleast that I've found, so try cutting back a little and see how it goes.
