Beans, Peas & Legumes

Why are my dwarf bean leaves doing this?

11 years ago

I'm a very new gardener so be gentle with me!!

I've planted from seed dwarf runner bean Hestia and dwarf runner bean Pickwick. They all are doing well and are between 6 and 10 inches tall with quite a few leaves but the problem is a lot o the leaves have turned over and the underside is on the top-if i try and turn them over they just go back again.

Is this normal?

Don't worry about it. Runner beans are natural twiners and I can only imagine that despite the dwarfing selection process they still have a yearning to twist about a bit. If the plants are healthy leave them alone.
