I am a newbie and have a question about my Fordhook Lima Beans. I planted about 9 days ago in zone 8 here in Charleston, South Carolina. The limas get a soaker hose watering twice a day. I don't think any water is getting splashed up on the plant.

I got the seeds from a very highly recommended source.

I know it looks bad - a virus, perhaps a mosiac or rust. But is it sunburn? I know the limas love sun, but can there be too much? It's been hot here, and very sunny. Also, could it be from over watering. I recall that the beans don't like too much watering.

This is the first time planting in this soil, which was a lawn before I solarized it this past month. I grew pole beans in a section of yard very near this one without problems.

Thanks for your responses.
