    Thanks! But i have never done so before. Just boil em, toss some seasoned salt on em and eat. Perhaps our oddly humid weather for the past 10 days? In any event, beans get removed on monday and ill replant 6 varieties, labeled, kept separate. Bean research time!

    From my research it shows that you should soak the beans prior to cooking to prevent splitting.

    There are several diseases that can cause this, including rust and several types of bacterial blight. Visual identification is best. See if the appearance and symptoms match any of the diseases in this article:

    This appears to be a bad fungal issue in the soil. There are a few things you can do.

    I prefer applying dolomitic lime and wettable sulfur to the soil. This will kill the infection, and bring back the pH to a more suitable level.

    Insufficient watering as they were growing, or too many beans left to go to seed.

    Can you include a photo? This is more likely an infection rather than a deficiency. This is not common with beans. I would apply wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to the soil as, both, a spot treatment and as a preventative.

    Again, a photo will help me to confirm this. Then I can give you the best advice on how to deal with the issue at hand.

    I would let them continue growing, wind them back into the trellis is needed.
