Most of the vine crops had a VERY bad year producing seed last year. You will see problems getting some of the ones you want. We are already looking for substitutions for some of our bigger selling peas and beans. We know we can't get anymore of them.

Vermont Bean & Seed Co., Pinetree Garden Seeds, and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds all list McCaslan.

If you need no more than a couple of dozen, give me a PM.

we (Vermont Bean) have less than 20 pounds left for the season on McCaslan.
Guess I never told you the why. Around here there was just too much rain at the wrong time for a good seed production. The other (very large) factor on pea and bean seed production is simply many of the contrators put in corn. You can't blame them with the price of corn the way it was. They could make more money growing corn than seeds. Had it been a normal year for seed buying, you would not have noticed anything.
Shall we call it the perfect storm season for seeds?
