Help...

[Dollarbill300]

I have green bean plants in a raised planter. They started off good, but in the last week they are starting to go bad. I don't know what is causing it. Attached are pictures of the plants. Can someone help me figure out what is wrong and how can I fix them. Thanks for your help in advance.

Yikes. No clue...are you getting a ton of rain down your way, like Texas?

Those do not look like happy plants. Have you looked closely for bugs or bug eggs?

Looks like mine do. Way too much water. The only difference is yours are in a planter and mine are in the ground. Yours can leach out nutrients easier than mine. Yank them out and start over. We have plenty of time for another crop

We have had a ton of rain over the last 2 weeks. I checked the leaves and did not see any evidence of bugs or eggs. If the soil dries out, wouldn't that help the plants recover?

Those leaves have had it and the roots are halfway rotted. Pull up a plant and check it out. If the roots aren't too bad it will grow more leaves but it will still take just about as much time as it would to replant. We still have at least 3 months

Yeah, if the roots have been compromised and started to rot, no point trying to save them at this point. You can't reverse rot. Sometimes Mother Nature throws us curveballs.
