Why are my runner bean leaves uniformly rather pale green, this is the
first time I have grown them here in France. I have grown them every
year in England without problem. The ground was virgin soil that had
been a field so apart from grass, nothing was growing there
previously.

Possibly heavy leatherjacket infestation and they are damaging the roots,
otherwise maybe a mineral deficiency/inbalance in the soil.
