    If your tomato plants have already succumbed to freezing temps, then it's likely too late to save them. If your beans have only slightly been damaged, they may be ok, though really these plants need warmer temps to grow successfully. You can try covering your beans but how well they respond is iffy at best.

    I am wondering what conditions are causing this rust to thrive. Is it possible that you are overwatering your plants? How close are your plants planted together - is there enough breathing room around them?

    Let's try to salvage what you have before removing all the plants and starting over. It is recommended to remove and dispose of the affected leaves at the first sign of rust, then treat your plants with a fungicide, such as neem oil. Continue to do this process until the rust is gone. Also, be careful not to overwater your plants.

    Sydney is in a warm temperature zone. Winged beans are more ideally grown in tropical zones that are hot and wet with 60-100 inches of rain or irrigation per year, so I am thinking you might have disappointing results.

    My best guess is that maybe they are climbing French beans. Their seeds are shiny dark purple.

    Here is a link to requirements for vegetable garden fertilizing.

    An acre would require much larger amounts then normal garden use.

    I would search for 'farming suppliers' in you area.

    I suspect that some small animal is taking it, possibly from below. Possibilities include voles or chipmunks. These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/chipmunk-control-eliminating-chipmunks-from-your-garden.htm
