A wet season has a lot to do with it, as that leaches nutrients out of the soil and BS’s are HEAVY feeders!

Mine did fantastic this season - best I’ve ever grown, BUT I had fresh composted tilled in at the start of the season, they were watered enough, but not too much, because we remain in drought conditions. I boosted them twice with straight nitrogen, via Blood Meal applied at the roots and watered in.

That sounds like it.

Thanks.

I think that maybe I’ll just pull them up. Seems like I can’t get them to overwinter.
