flowering but
not a bean in sight. This is the first year ever I've had this problem.

What is it due to do you think? Lack of bees? as I've not seen one
bee in my garden this Summer


To hot? Too dry? Just haven't got round to setting any seeds yet? (I
find the first few sprays tend not to set)




We did have a very hot dry spell a few weeks back, perhaps that's the
reason? Maybe this year I'll just have 'late' beans? I hope I get some
especially as I well manured and fertilised the raised bed they're in
this year. Time will tell I guess.
