    Since these are nitrogen-fixing plants, they do not need fertilizer, with exception to a side dressing of compost, if desired. An abundance of nitrogen will cause little to no flowering and poor pod development.

    This extremely hot weather we've been having is probably the main issue. Plant's don't like it either. Do however, check in an among the leaves for bean beetles. You can brush them off into a container of soapy water. You may have to do that daily to get them under control. Don't water overhead, deep water on the ground.
