I had the same experience in South Louisiana, bean leaves and vines but no blooms & beans. No luck with Contender bush beans,even Rattlesnake pole beans didn't make beans and the vines died from the heat. My only survivor was yard long beans and I'm just now getting a few from them.

I'd say it's the heat, things should improve when it cools down. Some of my later planted pole beans aren't producing flowers right now, we're going through a hot (for us) spell, approaching the 90's, we don't as a rule have many days like this. My Blue Greasy Grits have topped their teepee but aren't flowering, neither are my Barksdale but there's still plenty of time at least for me. Annette

I have been growing pole beans for 30 years (10 in California & 20 in Missouri) and this is the first year that I have beautiful plants, lots of flowers and no beans. It was very hot (over 99) for over 15 days, but I've seen hot weather before and still got beans. The plants get regular water (from sprinklers) daily. the weather is back to normal and I am waiting patiently or results. I think maybe the seed (gurney's) is sterile. You just don't know with commercial seed anymore and their genetic engereening. i try to watch this and avoid buying GES. Beans for me usually come in in August with slow start in Late july, here it is middle of Aug and NO sign of even starting to produce. /is anyone else having the same results this summer?

Well maybe it's time to chop down a few of those pesky trees. ;) Seriously, there are 2 trees which keep growing and growing and are shading part of my garden and its really obvious that the beans in the full sun are doing better. I don't see that it has anything to do with the age of the bean seeds. Also important is to add lots of fresh compost to your soil every year. Beans actually improve the soil, adding nitrogen to it which might be part of the reason your tomatoes are so happy this year.
