Please help a diseased plant.

Hello all:

I recently planted some bean seeds and noticed that the leaves of my seedlings have shriveled. Could someone help me diagnose the problem?

Thanks so much!

    I have the same problem. I'm completely new to gardening so hopefully someone experienced can help us out! Here are pics of mine:

    The 2nd batch of pics looks like it could be cold or wind damage.

    I see evidence of the work of at least a couple of a couple of pests, including leaf miners. Nothing serious enough to kill the plants though and I think they will grow fast enough to keep ahead of the damage.

    Typically my beans have some deformity, such as leaf crinkling, or discoloration, such as yellowing, at this stage of growth. They outgrow it soon enough.

    Are you using any fertilizers by chance? Did you amend your soil with anything prior to planting?

    I ask because some of the damage is reminiscent of fertilizer burn.

    Mine is the second set of pictures and I have fertilized one time. It was an organic liquid fertilizer that was diluted when I applied it. Are beans pretty sensitive? thanks! -kc

    Yes, I amended the soil prior to planting with Premium compost. Thanks to all the responses and appreciate it.
