These are in two different locations in the garden. I have no idea whats going on. Ive added nitrogen because they were yellow, they have bean booster added, i dont know if i should pull them or grow them out.

They seem fine to me albeit more than a little behind schedule.

How much sunlight do they get? Fabaceae usually don't need extra nitrogen: in fact they are often used to fix atmospheric nitrogen in the ground. Yellowing usually means they don't get enough sunlight and/or the soil is waterlogged.

The top two get plenty of sunlight, although it has been raining a bit and they are in a 50/50 peat/leaf mulch mix.I was more concerned with the leaf wrinkling that they are showing and some of them have spots on the leaves.

The bottom one is in clay, i actually ended up pulling two of them. The roots were pretty compact, that soil is waterlogged and doesnt drain well. I planted them to hopefully open the soil up.

Welcome to the forum, hotpotpepper! You might want to add in your location, or "near" location to your profile so folks will know where your located...they can give better advice knowing where you garden at.

Bean and pea seeds can look pretty gnarly when they're first growing. Mine usually look all puckered and wrinkled up, but they smooth out. I'm not sure what that's all about, but it's the way it is in my garden. On the bottom photo I see some round spots toward the center of the leaf...possibly insect nibbling?

Best wishes,
Ed
