Those of you who have been looking for sources of edible Lupine, both sweet and otherwise... Also winter-hardy Favas (some of you know these as "broad beans"). Hot commodity for the west coast as they can be overwintered for an early ripening. Unusually good selection of pulses overall--incuding some hard-to-find ones. Get 'em fast...won't last long... Also a lot of grains and miscellaneous leafy vegetables. Good selection for food self-sufficiency. www.backyardseedsavers.comThis is Erik Landry's website.

Thanks atash!
On the page of info on the Oat-Penglais, there's hyper-link 'Welsh'. At the bottom of the PDF file is a photo with a unique looking sythe (I think that's the word for it). Anyone know anything avbout it?

Rob, can you tell me which varieties of their lupine selection are sweet and which are bitter? They don't list that info that I can see.

Oxbow, sorry, I didn't check if he had any listed, and yes those descriptions are sparse and vague; I've mentioned that to him. Ask him if he has any sweet types available: www.backyardseedsavers.com/contact/If not he probably will at some point. Pulses are one of his specialties.
