    As of now, mid July, this is exactly what I am experiencing with my bean plants. They are flowering but no fruits/beans. This video explains it very well. It's all about the temperature.

      YES! Had so many on 2 plants last year! Are bush beans better? It is weather is even better this year... no beans but lots of plant.

    This explains alot. I have blooms but no beans. The Japanese beetles and grass hoppers are the only ones enjoying the leaves. It makes me mad to sit there watering leaves . .

    This was helpful. I was about to discard my pole beans but since we are at the end of August in Oklahoma, I think I’ll wait a bit to see if they produce. Temperatures still in the 90’s but the evenings are going down to the 70’s. Maybe I’ll get a few more beans.

      Evenings in the 60's would be helpful. Hang in there! Good luck👍

    I wish I had seen this earlier! My beans came to a standstill in the heat wave. I tried a new variety this year - a bean which needs to be picked very young or it becomes tough. Disappointing! I am staying with purple pole beans and dragon tongue ( old Dutch variety) bush beans. Thanks for the info.

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  3 роки тому +1

      Good luck and thanks for the comment! Trying different varieties until you hit a good one is a good thing. Sounds like you have one (this purple variety) that works for your conditions so better luck next year👍

    Thanks for this! What temp is too hot for Kentucky Wonder and Blue Lake Pole? I have flowers and no beans in late August. Temps in August have ranged between 79-91, so not a true heat wave. They've been flowering for the last 10 days. Starting today, I am giving them direct water to the bottoms of the palnts, instead of using a sprinkler. And maybe I'll add some more compost...

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  Рік тому +2

      Feeding is a good idea. The plant really respond to cool nights. Our night temperatures have been very cool around 55 deg F this has triggered them to really kick in. We are harvesting twice per week now. Yours should kick in soon 👍

  • @ambern2092
    @ambern2092 Рік тому +1

    I love the look of pole beans but not getting much out of them even when it's not that hot. I won't give up on them though, maybe they'll produce later. My leaves are already turning yellow and orange though.

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  Рік тому +1

      They may need richer soil and more fertilizer. They are a bit slow to start but once they start to climb they grow fast with lots of food. I plant them in about 5 inches of straight compost and fertilize as well.

    What i thought i recalled happening when I started a few years ago. pole and bush beans all quiet, EXCEPT for my Oriental pole beans i planted late June- early July.

    • @growercoach

      Did the Oriental beans produce this year already?

    Thank you for your video, this makes sense. Here in MN we are not 46 C but it is hot, probably too hot for my pole beans, but they are remaining healthy so I'm hopeful to get some beans maybe mid-August? Are you in Canada?

    • @growercoach

      You will have to wait for the blooms. This year my pole beans have just started to bloom (late this year) and now its hot. 100 deg F. Im sure Ill get a few but they will stop blooming until it cools off a bit then bloom again. Every year is a bit different and the crop is weather dependant. I hope it cools off again soon.

    I have no flowers grown on my vines 😢 did it first time but nothing. What could be the reason?

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  Рік тому +1

      Good question, its hard to say what could cause the lack of blooms, is it self collected seed? Was the seed planted late, are the plants overly lush?

    Do you think a shade tarp would have helped? Thanks

      @growercoach  2 роки тому +3

      I think shade cloth is a great addition to a veggie garden during the hottest months for sure. I will be adding shade cloth next year.👍

    Thanks! My beans look exactly like this -- super lush -- but NO flowers at all! My bush beans and sugar snaps have been producing for weeks already. This week has been cooler and I think I see flower buds starting? Should just wait or is there something else I can do?

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  Місяць тому +1

      Just have to wait it out. In Agust the nights usually cool off a bit and that can trigger a massive bloom.👍 Harvest in September.

    Maaaan it's May in Florida and it's already too hot. Flowers falling off left and right.
    I may pull them up and plant again in August…

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  4 місяці тому +2

      They will just keep growing but as soon as they get a week of cool weather they will bloom again.

    Would it help if you put a big umbrella over it to shade?

    • @growercoach
      @growercoach  Рік тому +1

      The best thing would be to use a product called shade cloth that reduces light intencity from the afternoon sun. I will be doing a vid on shade cloth this weekend. There are several products available.👍just set up a frame of some kind and drape the cloth over. Its good for most veggies and is more difficult to use on pole beans as they are on a tall structure. But it could be attatched to the structure its self???
