Flowers but no fruit suggests something is lacking in the soil. A good serve of Sulphate of Potash every fortnight will help. Sulphate of Potash is excellent for plants such as capsicum/ tomato/ beans/ egg plant/ zucchini. While not all plants need bees to produce fruit - a Greek Basil or two in any garden will attract a lot of bees. I potted a Greek Basil last February and it has been flowering (purple and very strong smelling) consistently in spite of some really cold days and nights. If you do get a Greek Basil, you might consider keeping it in a pot so it can be moved to where you want bees to pollinate the plants. Good luck!
Its usually because of the absence of bees. At this time of year it can be a challange to get bees into the garden. Just wait a little bit longer, and you will have heaps of snow peas!
