Why are my dwarf beans leaves yellowing? They’re planted with cherry toms and spring onions so it gets lots of water so I’m thinking it is that. Am I able to transplant them into pots? They’ve got flowers but no beans as yet.

I just googled it - overwatering. Tomatoes need a good deep watering 2-3 times a week. Give a light fertilising and cut the watering back to 3 times a week.

Can you grow Snow Peas next to Bush Beans?

Put the snow peas on the south side of dwarf beans.

My beans have got a dry and curly leaf on lower branches. My soil is very good but maybe too well drained. Any advice please

Dying leaf could be just old leaves or some disease. Curly leaf could be a disease or dry weather. A plant will protect itself in the heat of the day or hot weather by exposing less leaf to the sun. Put some mulch on the top of the soil to keep more moisture in the soil. In the future look at adding something to your soil to slow down the water draining through the soil so quickly.

My French dwarf bean seedlings have light green to yellow coloured leaves, I thought they were looking anaemic, now theyve developed grey brown spots in all the leaves. They're in potting mix, I recently sprayed them with iron chelate, they get about 5 hours good sun daily. Any suggestions welcome thanks.

I live sub tropical Bundaberg and I find that the bean fly hits beans in the autumn, so I grow mine in the spring. I'm on the look out to find out what to put in the soil or on the plants to stop the bean fly.

Have you tried making and applying garlic spray yet? Ive heard it works well to deter all chewing/sucking insects (and powdery mildew!). I would think it might also deter pollinators though, but this wouldn't be a direct problem for beans as I understand they self pollinate as the flowers open.
