No flowers or pods

Leaves only, no flowers or pods

Solution: Feed with a complete fertiliser, like Yates Thrive Natural Fish Seaweed+ Plant Food Concentrate.

For broad beans, no pods can be as a result of cool conditions or lack of bees for pollination

Solution: Cool weather will encourage flowering and pod set. Plant bee attracting plants in the garden

For other beans, hot conditions can reduce pod numbers

Solution: In warm areas try sowing beans during cooler spring and autumn months.
