We planted 6 Blue Lake Pole bean plants about 3 weeks ago. They were nice plants when we got them (Bonnie Plants) but since then, they are not looking good (pictures attached) They are turning brown around the edges and not really growing well.

They are planted in an area that gets about half a days direct sunlight and I have them planted in mounds (small)

Any help will be gladly accepted.

So, they were transplants? Beans really don't transplant all that well. They are sturdy though, and will probably pull through. Next time, just buy a bag of seeds (or remind me and I'll send you a couple thousand...) Happy Gardening!

Yeah beans can really struggle from transplant. I would mulch around them if you could to make sure they are holding moisture. Once they are strong again, they should pick back up their growth. ;)

They were just watered before picture. Raised beds with good soil.
