Has anyone any idea what could be causing this?? appreciate any advice!

I've been told it's down to lack of water.

Suggest it may be a lack of bees to pollinate them - that's what I've
put it down to on mine - same thing with the broad beans, very poor
crop.

When I was very small, I was told to polinatebeans by spraying them with
water, and it seems to work well, I always do it, and usually have a very
good crop.
