They were growing real nice for a few weeks, then we hit a drought..now, I watered every other night because it needed it, and now there are beans, but they're YELLOW, and mushy feeling, and tiny or they're yellow and dried up. New flowers are coming, but I'm a little concerned.
Any ideas?

sorry to say, those beans are spent due to the drought, but the blossoms may produce a second batch. Drought may have shocked the plants.
You can plant for more green beans now and still have beans before the first frost. So take heart |

Jonni-
My peas were doing the same thing, but with lots of watering they are starting to come back. I am not sure if the will produce anything more, but I am going to leave them planted since I have hear that they re-enrich the soil with Nitrogen.
