We bought organic seed from West Coast Seed this year. After three =

Hello Mary
This year we bought OSC brand pole bean seed. In previous years, we have =
been saving our own seeds from the beans.
So that does complicate matters. However we have a neighbor who bought =
Halifax Seed brand; and she has the same problem.
We will have to contact the company to see what treatment they might =
give the seed.
But it would seem foolish for a seed company to treat the seed =
(knowingly) with something which causes reduced yield.
Yours
