Why doesn’t anyone eat the pods? I’ve read that they are edible.

I am sure you have gotten an answer by now but just in case i will share my experience . I had beautiful vines loaded with blooms but very few pods.I found out later from Mississippi State University if temp. gets above 86 f deg. the blooms will drop.

In reply to andy batch.

Hi, I’d suggest a soil test to see if your soil is deficient of any major nutrients. It could also be due to high temps which often reduce pollination, as well as drought-stress. If plants are thirsty, they don’t set pods well.

I grow beautiful vines every year with lots of flowers. Not a lot of pods with very small beans. I fertilize, water, and weed. What am I doing wrong?
