Leaves on my green beans

[uripadees]

This is my first year planting vegetables. I have noticed that some of the leaves look like this. Is this normal?

That looks a lot like BCMV or Bean Common Mosaic Virus. Google it and see if it is or not.

It looks like that is what it is. From what I read it comes from the company that sells them and it's the way they process the seeds. These seeds I bought are from "Livingston Seed". There is no real cure for it and it was suggested that I dig up the plants and burn them. Uuggh!!!

I buy all of my legumes from Willhite Seeds. I have never had any kind of problem with them and they are CHEAP.

Thanks for the company's name, will check them out. So, what is your opinion; should I let them grow or dig them up?

For now just pull up the affected ones and wait and see if the others are OK.
