I have beautiful Cherokee trail of tears pole beans with lots of blooms, been blooming for quite a while now. Problem is, no beans at all

Last year my beans began blooming during a heat wave and the flower just fried. Piegirl

Garry, I've found that beans are generally more of a spring or fall crop for me in Texas because most varieties/types don't tend to set beans too well in the heat.
I'm no legume expert, but except for cowpeas (which love heat and will tolerate some drought too), most beans just don't do well in the summer for me. |

In my experience, I have obsereved the same thing as Suze. Once it really heats up, I don't get any more beans.
