The plants are blooming but I still have no beans. When will I start seeing beans? This is my first year growing pole green beans. The plants look healthy. Just can't figure out why I am not getting any beans yet. The plants are blooming but are not setting.
Temperatures above 85 degrees, and extremes of moisture -- too wet or too dry -- will cause blossoms to drop before fruit sets.
Have earth box with beautiful 8' vines and 0 blooms. What's the problem? What can I do short of starting over? What will make them bloom?

I have planted beans in large pits this year, using 3m high dowels as supports. One of the plants has already reached the top of the support. Will it keep growing? And what should I use now for supports?
Got a little over-achiever going there, don't you? You can just let the top dangle -- when it finds it has nothing else to climb, it should turn it's interest to making beans. Or you might try getting some even longer poles and setting them up as teepees, to support the monster. Here's an article that might give you some ideas: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/pole-bean-supports.htm
Seven feet tall, large leaves, did have rust but under control. Keeps producing leaves and no flowers. It has been 65 days.

How do I stop pole beans from growing too high? How can I pinch them off and how do I do that last year? They just kept growing and no beans.
If pole beans are fed a lot of nitrogen, they're going to want to grow and grow, they forget about making beans. Other conditions that encourage leaf growth instead of flowers and fruit are too little sunlight, too high temperatures and humidity, inconsistent water. Here are a couple of articles for you to consider: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/pole-bean-pinching.htm

Last year our vegetable garden was full of wood chips. This year our veggies did not do well, with my pole beans growing 2 feet long & 1/4 inch wide. What happened?
Gardeners are still debating whether wood chips are good for the garden or not. I think for myself I would use wood chip as mulch on landscape beds, but I would limit its use on edible gardens to pathways or areas between vegetable beds or rows. The main problem, aside from the possibility of treated or allelopathic materials, seems to be the way uncomposted wood chip affects nitrogen in the soil. I feel that composted material is the best way to amend the soil in the vegetable garden. This article discusses some aspects of this subject: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/basics/compost-as-garden-mulch.htm
Of course, if you want to know exactly what's going on with the soil, you can get an analysis from the count extension service. This link will help you locate one:

As for your beans, those sound like yard long beans, or Chinese long beans, Vigna inguiculata. Is there some way you could have got those seeds? This article has more about these beans: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/growing-asian-style-vegetables.htm
PS, don't try to cook these in water or steam; you need to fry or saute them only.
