Hi, I planted my pole beans in late May. It is now the end of July and the vines are blooming like crazy but not a single baby bean is forming. Any idea what might be wrong?

July 14, 2022Q.Problems With Pole Beans In A Container
My plants got exposed to very hot temps 113 for 3 days-but were watered daily during that time. Now temps back to normal 80-90 But the leaves are pale and browning and falling off. I have fertilized but I think it’s too late. What could possibly be wrong?

Certified ExpertA.Fertilization, excessive heat, and excessive watering will lead to what you have experienced, here. Unfortunately, beans are not suited for the heat. They will suffer, no matter what, but can be helped with a little shade.
I think the best course of action will be taking preventative measures for the next available season. This collection of articles will help you with the care of beans:

Certified ExpertA.If they are older seeds, then this may be why. If that is not the case, then you can try scarification.This is where you nick or scar the seed coat to break seed hull. This can help too. This artical:

Indian Lake, NY 12864 Zone 4Q.Can I Eat Overgrown Pole Beans In The Pod Or Use For Chili?
We picked the pole beans too late! They are huge and swollen with beans inside the pod. Are they edible? Can they be used in chili?

Certified ExpertA.They are, but They may be quite a bit more tough and stringy. I would cook them, very well. Even then there may be some stringiness. It may be best to use them, removed, from the pod.
