Beans Beans Beans

This being my first year growing vegetables i have found it hard to diagnose what's going wrong with my plants and what specific disease or problem it is. For example with my french beans first of all they weren't growing very well turned out they were a dwarf variety. Then they started turning brown i thought it was either because i put coffee grounds around that and it had affected the beans or that it could be fusarium wilt because it had brown streaked tissue, the leaves were yellowing, but i don't think it was that either because when i cut off those leaves and fed the plant all was fine until i got the actually beans some were green and fine and others were yellow (see above).
All is not lost i had beans else where which have grown very well, i suppose i have to stop comparing them to the supermarket kind.
Haricots are coming along nicely can't wait for them, neither can my mother i planted them for her.
