My beans are very slow, possibly too much nitrogen in the soil, can I remove what on any other plant, would be the bottom two seed leaves ? They have gone part yellow
The seed leaves will drop off on their own soon, no need to pick them off. Keep the beans warm for a while then gradually harden off before planting out.

I wouldn't worry too much, Bakes3147. Runners are resilient little blighters which shake their heads and then make up for lost time. Mine were caught by a rare couple of early frosts (outside). The leaves turned very sickly looking, but I left them to it and they're now forging ahead. I think you can worry too much?
