Lima beans

Question

I have planted Fordhook lima beans for 2 years and cannot yield any beans. They will bloom like crazy but will not produce any beans. I’m not sure what’s going on with them but would like to know what I could try to get them to yield beans. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

This is a pollination problem. Without pollination, the blooms cannot produce beans. These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/beneficial/insect-pollination-process.htm
