I have been watering them several times a week since they are growing and 12 inch deep 18 in diameter grower bags, and the bags tend to dry out quickly. This past week I sprayed them twice with epsom salts and twice with Miracle-Gro. Do you have any other suggestions? I tried sending through photos but they won't go through. Thank you, Martha
They can do this when there is too much nutrients in the soil. Beans will produce their own nitrogen with the help of microbes in the soil. Supplementing any is usually not needed, with good potting mix.
Spraying with nitrogen will have negative effects, long term. Instead, make sure to test the soil for deficiencies before adding anything. This takes out the guess work. Adding the wrong nutrient at the wrong time can make soil unsuitable for plant life, and throw off the pH drastically.

I think the beans will be ready to harvest mid August.
You can, but once you get used to how they develop, you will be able to harvest them based on their appearance. The harvest time is a general number, but can vary from one cultivar to another.

I just transplanted a set of young green bean plants from their original containers into my raised bed. After only a few days, some leaves have started turning yellow and the edges of some leaves have started to dry up. Ive watered it and the soil is slightly damp too the touch but not very wet. I’m thinking this might be a root infection, though they have only been in the ground for two full days. Would appreciate any thoughts on why this is happening.
This looks like a bacterial infection from a little too much water.
Planting should be done in early spring to avoid summer heat. It is tempting to overwater during this time, so having a well established plant will help.
They don't transplant well, either. They will want to be started where they will stay.
Treat with a fungicide, and you will likely be able to set beans out next year.

o treat for next year is what i need to know!! Some of our grown green beans were twisted and had little black holes on some of them and other nasty looking bite marks, and all the leaves were almost totally made into lacy things. I must have picked off between 300 to 400 bugs: some beetles, but more larvae things. I hadn't thought to look for them earlier in the season.. now it seems too late to bother for saving this year's beans anymore but I want to prevent them next year! I want to kill them off safely while we still have our tomatoes growing if possible, within 15 feet of the green beans.
This is a good article on beetle control that will help you get better results next year:

My beautiful drift roses are attacked by something eliminating all foliage where I'm left with a plant & stems looking like Asian green beans. What is it & more importantly what in the world do I do to stop it?
It likely is one of these pests in the article below. Since all the foliage is gone, I'm wondering about deer. Bugs won't usually eat all the leaves, but caterpillars might.

Reading your article ..pinching off the bean's tip.., I wonder if 3G cutting is helpful for beans.
The idea is pinching off first and second generation stems will promote more female flowers, hence more production.

to plant next year, will they germinate next year? This is the first time I have soaked seeds but I was late planting and wanted to jump start them. We live near Spokane, WA and I have a fairly large garden and have gardened for years. I am just sick that I soaked too many seeds and wondered if I ruined them for next year. I do not have room to put them all in the ground and would really like to save them to use next year. Thank you!!
They will probably sprout! The process of germination has begun.
