I've got green beans and butter beans that just won't produce. The vines are healthy and look good, but blooms are scarce. I figure something is missing in the soil, but I'm not sure what. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Could be a number of things....too much nitrogen, too much heat, not enough sunlight, too much water...

Could be too much water. We've gotten a lot of rain. It's only been a problem the last few years. We tried spacing the plants out a little more this year, but it doesn't appear to have made a difference. Heat hasn't been too bad up to this point.

I just tilled my green beans under two weeks ago. . I was wore out from picking them. Put up over 100 packs in the freezer. SW Arkansas. I always consider green beans a late spring producer. I till mine under mid June and plant peas.

High levels of nitrogen will produce lots of leafy growth, but will harm bean production.

Goodness....how u grow anything in gravel???

Friend said the blossoms were falling off his beans because of the heat. Maybe that is your problem.

I wonder that myself. Peas and beans grow good. Okra okay. Corn, squash, tomatoes - not so much
