Could use some help with my beans.

The first pic is Kentucky Wonders that will be climbing the trellis next to them. They seem to be a little more yellow than I expected. Especially compared to the purple hull peas in the row next to them. Second pic is up close of the kentucky wonder.

Third pic is of dragon tongue bush beans. They seem stagnant and extremely yellow. I have one plant that is green. I heard that you don't really want to put nitrogen on beans, so I haven't added anything fertilizer, etc. to them.

Any thoughts on what's going on? They have all been in the ground about 4

The soil may be too alkaline. Get a PH test done. It could also be too much moisture in the soil.

never tried beans but when my peppers used to look like that, Id spray them or side dress them with epsom salt.

They love it...might be worth a shot

If you choose to spray, tblspoon in a spray bottle and go to town; side dress, 1/2 tblspoon per plant about 4 inches from stalk
