butterbeans

Question

I am having healthy vines but only one crop of beans and those were really good. After that there were no blooms at all. What is wrong? I compost the soil with manure and all other veggies are doing good. I have a sprinkler to keep my garden watered when we have hot, dry weather. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Answer 1

Too much nitrogen fertilizer will prevent pods from setting and focuses more on producing foliage growth. Heat can also be a factor, making pollination more difficult. This article might help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/bean-blossoms-no-pods.htm
