June 22, 2011Q.Pole Beans Not Blooming
I have beautiful bushes of pole beans, but not a bloom on any of them. It has been quite hot (95-100), with no rain in the forecast -- 100 degrees each day. Will a bloom set help, or should I just plow them under?

Certified ExpertA.Your soil may need phosphorus. Phosphorus helps with flower and fruit production, and without it you will see a reduction in flowers and fruit. This article has more information:

June 24, 2011Q.Yellow Leaves on Partridge Head Pole Beans
I have planted pole beans for the first time. While they don't seem to have any bugs (one leaf has a hole, but that's all), some of the plants have yellow leaves at the base. What could cause this? What should I treat them with, if anything? I am an organic gardener.

How many hours of full sun are required for growing pole beans? If I have a location that gets full sun from 10 am until 3 pm, is that enough? I am in North Carolina.

July 2, 2011Q.No Beans
I have pole beans planted along a trellis. My plants are healthy and full. I have harvested a handful of beans, but now the plants have just stopped producing. It has been over a week since I have seen any beans at all. What has happened?

Certified ExpertA.Pole beans take several weeks longer to start producing than bush beans. Be patient. Sometimes vines do not start producing until early August. Also, be sure to not over fertilize, especially with nitrogen, as this promotes more foliage and less blossoming. Instead, use a fertilizer high in phosphorus, with about a 10-20-10 ratio.
