Hi! I live in the heart of Snowdonia North Wales. Although the weather has been cold for prolonged periods, I did plant out my broad beans a few weeks ago, although they have grown and started developing flowers, the plants have turned a rather insipid yellow.
I've been informed that it could be from the cold weather, which can cause problems for the plants to be able to absorb some nutrients.
I'd be VERY grateful indeed, if any kind experienced growers, would be able to suggest a 'plan of action' is there anything I can do to help the plants in any way (feed, nutrients, or such like)
The beds where the beans are planted in, was prepared during winter with a good 10" of well rotted horse manure, over the whole surface which was dug in. (Luckily we have horses!)
Any help I'd be very grateful indeed!
Thanks.
