Why are the edges of my newly down bush green beans turning whitish brown and curling under. New growth looks good, though?

perhaps frost damage?

Has it been windy where you live since the emergence of your bean plants. I've seen wind burn do this to my beans before.

We haven't had any frost, but have had the opposite , extreme geat. Plus, the bean plants were grown at a big nursery in a greenhouse and we transplanted into our garden in the middle of an extreme heat wave, so I read a few places they may have gotten sun scalded. I also read Bush Green Beans have tender, thin leaves, in the young plants can get sun scalded

Yes it had been very windy. Did the bean plants survive? Or did you have to replace the your wind damaged m plants with the withered leaves? I was advised to remove the bad leaves, since they were dead, basically, and did that yesterday. I was also told they may need more nitrogen? And, they don't like to be watered from above. Weirdly, my dad grew Bush Lake Green beans for years and years and we never had this issue. I think he grew then outside from seed, though. I think because they were grown in a greenhouse, the leaves are overly sensitive (also was told this on another channel) to being exposed to extreme sun and heat without giving them time to adjust to the new harsher environment. The sun, and wind probably burned the tender leaves. I will definitely be purchasing from nurseries who grow their plants not in greenhouses from now on, so it is not a shock to them when replanting them outside. ) :

Yes my bean plants survived and eventually had a normal growing season. Your plants could be a combination of being grown in a green house so they were not used to sun's UV rays. Perhaps they needed to be hardened off to the sun's UV rays and perhaps also wind damage. Maybe both things at the same time. All you can do is see if your bean plants will adjust to their new enviornment. Chances are that they will. Let us know what happens.

Thanks so much for your helpful replies! We have gardened for a few years. Now. But just moved our garden to a new, bigger location on our property, but not very far from where our old one was, just much sunnier. So, we are unsure what results we will get here this year! Very hopeful we get as good of results as we usually do. So we were s little startled to get any issues less than a week after planting! ( :

We have had great results with our soul up to now, so it was definitely a bit shocking to see. We had to wait here in central CT to plant the garden this year, because between two crazy high heat waves, we actually had a hard frost. Poor people in our town and surrounding towns list their daffodils that had just popped and tulips instantly! I was so happy we waited to fire our garden until after mid May, everything would've been killed!

Thanks again, I can send updated pics as we go along! ( :
