Hi everyone... the French Beans are growing well but, I was wondering if I should remove the bottom leaves that are in contact with the soil and starting to turn yellow?

    You don't need to, the plant will drop them when it's ready.
    They may though act as a slug route to your plant, so removing them may not be a bad idea.

    I will remove them, I have been checking them for slugs each night, so don't want to give them a leg up so to speak.

    Thanks @Pete.8 👍
