I don't think so. I think it is just sun scald. Were those seeds planted in the ground or were the plants transplanted to where they are? Have you had a lot of real hot, sunny days?
rainbow, they were planted in the ground and yes we've had a few really hot days, but mostly rainy days. (Northern Ohio). What seems funny to me, it has seem to affect only 2-3 rows out of several. I have some planted on the North side of my house and it really doesn't get much sun, except late afternoon. it's effecting a couple rows there too.
It could be they got splashed or sprayed with something....?
Learning never ends because we can share what we've learned. And in sharing our collective experiences, we gain deeper understanding of what we learned.
A very few of my bean leaves look like that too. I think it's just sunscald as rainbow said. Temps here have been mid to upper 90's with bright sun! Starting to get a little more humid now with a little lower temps. The summer rains are around the corner, hope they come!
