I planted dwarf green beans last year, I now have lots of quite healthy vines with tubers in the soil but no sign of any bean flowers or pods. What can I do to help it flower?

really at this time of year your french beans/bush beans will not be receiving long enough days to flower and the nights will be getting too cold. bush beans such as cherokee wax, butter beans etc. should be planted in spring and summer so that they have longer days and warm nights. Mine stopped flowering about mid march.
