I built a new bed this year and started some beans, tomatoes, and zucchini from seed. The beans were in blast off mode in the starter pots before I planted them, literally climbing my windows. The day I planted them in the bed, however, they started struggling and don’t seem to be recovering. I am at a loss what is going on here and hoping one of you kind folks can help me. Photographed is one of the leaves that seemes to just be curling up and dying. Please help!

It kind of looks like you're watering the leaves, and they're rotting or burning. Don't water the leaves of anything if you don't specifically need to.

Some extra info about what the soil that went into the raised beds may be useful though.

It did rain several times since planting a week and a half or so ago. It has been rainly and overcast until a couple days ago when the sun came out and it has warmed up. I have not been directly watering the garden because I thought there has probably been enough rain. The bed I built is 8’x4’x6” bed which I filled with Coast of Maine Raised Bed mix:

Do there plants have new growth without discoloration or wilting?

Yes there is some newer growth above this that looks normal (I’d say). But growth is way slower than it was just in the starter pots.
