one of the two that are relatively ok
and then we have these. Green Beans. Bush.
ANYTHING you know or think you might know about why this can be happenng. I'm Sure it's not lack of water.
Advice desperately sought.
to ease the heartache of the green beans
and this
I would just pull them out, wrap them up & put them in the rubbish bin rather than in the compost heap just in case there’s a bacterial or fungal disease happening. Could be some sort of stem borer, a magnifying lens could tell you more. Everything else around them looks so happy & healthy!

“If they don’t get enough sun, the leaves may yellow because they can’t produce as much chlorophyll. Lack of sunlight can also keep water from drying on the leaves after a rain, which can lead to fungal diseases. It is important to give the beans enough water to keep the soil moist but not flooded.” Agree with Mo. If you plant more; https://homeguides.sfgate.com/leaves-turning-yellow-pole-beans-49779.html

I can not tell you what is happening with your beans but the above video explains possible reasons why leaves turn yellow. I think what Mo said is probably a good suggestion. If it is some kind of blight or fungus you would be better off not contaminating your soil or other plants. But I know that is not easy for you.

I know it’s not easy but I think Mo, Michelle, and jaime are right about removing the plants and putting them in the trash not compost pile.
A few years ago I had tomato plants hit with a virus and they never produced as they as they could have. A fellow gardner recommended putting the plants in the trash rather than compost to prevent any type of spreading to other plants.
You may even want to remove some of the soil around the plants to prevent the spread to new plants or other vegetables.

a bacterial leaf disease, sometimes it happens when it is too wet. As I remember, my dad said pull them out, sometimes the bacteria stays in the soil for more than a year. I lost all my bean plants one year. Eventually it spread to every plant with in a certain area.

Agree with everyone else. Plant more beans somewhere else, there is still plenty of time for them.

You can dig them up and put them in a bucket or pot if the idea of killing them is bothering you. Move them to another location.

This is a great idea! They might survive and produce some beans. The biggest is not having it spread to other plants.

You have been there three years, that’s about when the local pests and diseases start realizing there’s a new food source available. Bacterial and fungal diseases can be brought in on the tires of vehicles, earth moving equipment, shoes, etc when I worked at the Sydney Botanic Gardens we had to walk through a bleach bath to get into the propagation room and glasshouses.

PS ascertain what the problem is first, could be mosaic virus which is seed born, do you have a local branch of an agricultural scientific institute? send them the photos if you do!
