    Dehydration? Too hot? Too much sunshine?
    All of the above?

    What can I do to keep them alive? :(

    Sounds about right - have there been hot or drying winds as well? At least 2 of them look OK. I would just shove some more seeds in and hope they catch up.

      What are "these", please?

      Where are you growing them: outside? Inside? In a greenhouse/potting shed/blow away?

      :scratch: :dunno:

      Sorry... Green beans. My courgette plants are going the same way, really wilted looking. They were sewn indoors from seed, then I got them used to outside by putting them out through the day and bringing them in at night, did this for a few weeks.

      We are having unusually-hot-weather-for-scotland just now though I've been making sure to water them plenty when needed. Just hope they don't all wilt :(

      Would keeping the out of direct sunlight help?

      Heat ought not now to be a problem up here in Scotland out of doors. My climbing french beans have been planted out since 26th May and are doing fine.
      My guesses as to your problem are any of thefollowing:
      * They were allowed to dry out at some stage
      * They became scorched due to water on leaves in strong sunshine
      * There's something nibbling the roots

      Quite possibly any of those. I've been trying to ensure the soil stays damp. Have them a good soaking when I noticed at first. Hoping they survive!
