Can't find yellow pole beans seeds
I usually buy yellow a.k.a. wax pole bean seeds from a local vendor but this season they do not have them.
It's easy to find bush yellow bean seeds, but I can't find a yellow pole type variety anywhere. If any of you can point me to a source, I'd appreciate it... and so would Mrs. M - they are her favorite.

Ontario Seed Company (OCS) lists them. If you'd like I've got an extra packet I could send you.

I will ditto Dean's mention of Neckargold from Sandhill. I grew it last year. If you can't get seed from Sandhill, I can send you some.

marvel of venice is a nice one. you will be impressed with the length, and taste of the bean. productive, and early for a pole bean. i can give you a start with a few seeds i ordered neckar gold from sandhill this year. sandhill said they had limited supply in their catalog, so you may want to check their stock status.

I always marvel at the generosity and helpfulness from all of you.
Thank you all for of your kind offers of seed and advice on where to locate yellow pole beans. I will order some tonight online. I'm glad to know that some of you also enjoy them. I like pole beans in general over bush-type hands down. Productivity is much higher and they are easier to pick. Thanks again to everyone that posted.

Bill at GrowItalian.com carries Marvel of Venice Yellow Pole Bean as well. It has great flavor and the purple blossoms are amazing.

Hey M... I know this was posted a few years back but I have a very obscure yellow pole bean called St. Fiacre. Planting this year but have some spare seeds. Got them from Seb in France. Let me know.
