Question about Lima beans Aug 2, 2009 19:06:54 GMT -5

My lima beans are producing huge, thick pods, yet the beans themselves are remaining too small to bother with. Is there something I should put on them that will help this? Maybe they are lacking a nutrient in the soil? I've never had this problem before, and I SOOO look forward to my limas every year.
Thanks for any help!

Ha! I knew I had this article somewhere. I'd printed it out for a file, so I had to backtrack to find it online again... hot dry weather during pollination may be the culprit. Here you go, MLH...
