Brown leaves
Big brown patches have started appearing on my French Bean leaves. Lower two tiers only, the rest of the plant still growing OK. The leaves eventually shrivel and die. I grew the plants from seed in my conservatory, planting out 2 to 3 weeks ago by JAO

Lawn not so good
I sowed my own lawn 5 years ago with a mixture which didn't contain rye grass. It's grown okay but the problem is I am getting a lot of coarse grass becoming established and it, as well as the finer grass, is growing prostrate. Always believed by itsnotmyfault
