Fellow gardeners,
I have a pot a square foot in size, with a pyramid trellis for the vines to climb. I use a wicking watering sytem that keeps the soil slightly moist. The temperatures here are regularly between 80 and 90 during the day, and will get as low as 60 at night. The eveining tempatures are going to start to come up some as we move into summer, and I could get as high as 115 during the day off and on. I am in Sacremento, CA. The vines get sun for a good part of the day. They are on a deck.
What I am having happen is as the leaves age they are drying up and falling. The young leaves on, the ends of the vines are green, and I am getting flowers, although I have gotten no beans. The bottom of the vines have no leaves on them now, and quite a lot of some of the vines are mostly brown, dry leaves. I do see that some of the leaves have spots of brown.
I have determined this to be a bacterial blight. If anyone has any other idea, I would love to hear it. This type of blight means I will be pulling them all out of the pot. I will need to find something else for this pot I am guessing.
