    Hello,
    it's the first time I try to grow something so I don't know a lot about gardening.
    I have 3 Scarlet Runner beans plants that developed bumps on their first leaves.

    A bit of a background:

    • sprouted in a jiffy peat pod
    • quickly transplanted to a small container with soil and composted manure
    • Kept indoors with a grow light because the past few weeks were rainy with strong winds
    • Plant are growing their first leaves, for some reason they have a super long stalk. around 5- 6 inches
    • I started hardening them off yesterday, they spent an 1 hour in the shade
    • I checked on the stalk, under the leaves and on the leaves but I don't see any pest
    • Those seeds were given to me by an organism that promotes organic gardening in small space
    From what I've read online, I think it could be the mosaic virus?
    If this is the case I'm guessing the seeds I was given were tainted.

    Thank you for your help

    I had a look at someone's very comprehensive "what is wrong with my bean plants" page, and didn't see a match to your issue here. I am hoping someone who grows beans and has first-hand knowledge will pipe up.

    Can you share that page with me? I'd be interested in reading on what can go wrong with beans.
