21 Aug 10 Margaret (Australia - temperate climate)
I am so excited, like you my broad bean plants looked healthy but they did have lots of flowers, but no beans. When I watered them this morning and looked I have LOTS of small beans coming on. So be patient, yours should start soon. I think it is the warmer weather.
They take a long time, i planted mine in mid April, (coastal sub-trpopical)i i have lots of small pods now, my father who is an hour south of me (Temperate) has got loads of flowers but no pods he planted in late april. Not sure about nutrients but my patch is based on horse manure and seaweed from my beach.
