I wasn't sure if I should put this in Edibles or here, but figured I'd start here since it's bound to be a pest or disease....

Recently the leaves on my Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans have started shriveling up. Then they get crunchy. It's happening to more and more leaves and it's got me concerned.

I've got them planted in a Lasagna bed, along with about 8 bush bean plants. The bush beans don't seem to be affected by this (yet.)

I water regularly, and it had rained the night before I took these pictures. I haven't fertalized them. I built the bed and planted the plants in it a few weeks later (started seeds in containers) the bush beans went in first, followed by the pole beans a few weeks after that. I also have some Glads and a couple of sunflowers in there, the sunflowers are growing well and the glads came up days after I planted the bulbs. I tried putting baby basil plants in there but they weren't happy (too much shade from the beans I figured) but everything else is growing like crazy.







Any idea what's causing this?
