Hi everyone,
This is my first year of trying Scarlet Emperor Runner Beans. They've been in for around 4 weeks. 2 out of the 10 plants are starting to throw out leaves with raised bumps. I'm a little concerned it may be something that might spread onto the other 'normal looking' flowering plants. Is this usually anything to worry about?
Thanks,

I wouldn't worry they normally tend to do things like that probaly lots of reasons normally the weather!!!

Just check underneath the leaves as my white currant did similar and I found a load of aphids. Good spray with soapy water should do the trick.

Just squish the aphids with your finger. Plants aren't meant to be soaked in soapy water.

Found a few remains of crawlies under the leaves today, the ladybirds may just have beat me to it (fingers crossed)! Thankyou everyone
