Pole beans

Question

My beans are tall and lush but so far few blossom. Am I just getting in a hurry or are they lacking something. The plants are growing on nets and are 6′ tall

Answer 1

They are lacking something in the soil. I've been picking here in the midlands UK for 3 weeks now. The make up of your soil will show via a simple soil test that here is too much of something and not enough of something else, thus promoting healthy foliage at the expense of flowers. The soil probably needs a much higher nitrogen content.
