Can anyone suggest a source for mosaic virus resistant green beans? I've planted two batches of beans and both were affected by the virus.

Blue Lake pole bean? I haven't grown them yet, but the description says they are resistant.

What seed brand are you looking at? Most of the ones I've seen don't specify. I love to try these!

I found them here:

I haven't ordered from here I just found them in a search, so unfortunately I can't give you any input on the company or their beans.
