My French Beans have lots of green foliage but no flowers,as yet.They grow in a large pot and I have fed and watered them regularly.How do I encourage the flowers?




Answers

 

What are you feeding them with? Some feeds encourage leaf growth rather than flower set.

Miracle Grow and the odd comfrey feed.

Tomato fertiliser which is a high potash feed will encourage flowers and fruit

Yes those feeds you used will do as MG says and give you good green growth.

As Pamg says tomato fertiliser will help. We don't feed our legumes with anything just make sure the soil has lots of good organic matter in it.
