Well, you're certainly not alone! I have the same problem (also my first year for beans). I planted Bush Blue Lake (8 plants), Dragons Tongue (4), and Purple Queen (4) beans. I managed to get about 2 servings of beans from the Blue Lakes (they should produce more than that, right?), but only 3 purple beans and nothing from the Dragon's Tongue before they looked so bad that I just cut them down. I planted another round of Dragon's Tongue and Velour (Purple) Dwarf French beans (in a different container) to see what happens. I also planted some pole beans. I'm tempted to spray them with something as a deterrent, but without knowing what's ailing them, it's like shooting in the dark!
