Green beans not advancing?

13 years ago

Back in the beginning of April i planted some green bean seeds that I purchased at Lowes. Obviously I have very heavy clay so I made sure to loosen the entire area before putting the seeds in the ground. Now they're about 6in and not growing anymore. They get 7+ hours of sunlight and adequate water and everything around them is growing well. No clue about this one! Help lol

Are they pole beans? I've often planted pole beans and have them sit there doing much of nothing for quite some time. Then all of the sudden, they go crazy with growth. If they are otherwise healthy looking, I bet they are just putting down roots.
