    Do you mean that you used these in the soil of the original plant? Or do you mean that you have sprayed the exposed beans? I would definitely not recommend spraying them.

    If you mean that the area had been treated and want to know if the beans from that crop will germinate, the answer is... Mostly, yes. There may be a few that have been sterilized, but it really shouldn't be much more than typical from a plant.

    Yes, they can still be added now. It can help to take a syringe and put it down into the soil if possible.

    You can use fallen branches to create a trellis!

    If you don't have them in your yard, perhaps a neighbor has some they would be happy to give you.

    Yes, this is correct. The image actually show 3 plants around each of the 3 poles.

    This looks like damping off disease, a fungus that destroys the stem. Standard advice is to wait and plant beans directly in the garden. They sprout and grow so fast and don't have to go through transplant shock this way. This article goes over tips for preventing damping off. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/propagation/seeds/what-is-damping-off.htm

    I know that those are labeled as peas, but they are beans that are known as cowpeas. I hope that clears up any confusion as to why I gave you an article for beans. :)

    If you have supplemented any nitrogen at all, whether it be in your soil mix, or feed, then it will inhibit flowering.

    These plants are legumes, and will harvest their own nitrogen from the atmosphere. They will not need any extra.

    Usually, supplementing potassium and phosphorus will offset nitrogen, but this can only be done to an extent before the soil becomes too nutrient rich to plant.

    First try supplementing with phosphorus and potassium. If that does not encourage flowering, then it will become a waiting game. The rain will eventually wash out any extra nitrogen over time.

    In the meantime, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/get-bean-plants-to-bloom.htm

    I know they are in the legume family, and this is first time I have grown these.
    Just need to know about how many weeks after planting should I expect to see blooms starting.
    4 weeks, 6 weeks, 7 weeks?
    Just the answer I am needing to know and hoped to get at this site.

    Thanks
    Kathy
