This is my first year growing beans. I have 16 plants in one EarthBox, planted per EB instructions. The plants most affected are Bush Blue Lake beans that I bought as seedlings at Home Depot (Bonnie plants), but it also attacked one of my Purple Queen snap beans that I started from seed. I cut off the affected leaves. The Blue Lakes plants have small 2-3" beans on them now, so they may not be a total loss.
Does anybody know what this looks like? Pictures to follow.

What's wrong with my bush beans?
Here are a few pics:
And another
This is a Purple Queen snap bean. I've got flowers, but no beans yet.
The top picture and maybe the bottom one as well sort of look like sunburn to me. This can happen when you take plants and suddenly expose them to more sun than they'd been getting before without taking the time to gradually work them up to the higher sun exposure. So if Home Depot had them in a shadier spot than you put them in when you planted them that could have done it.
