Dear Garden Kids,
It's a pleasure to send you some of my favorite bean seeds. They are called "Trout" or "Jacobs Cattle" and are heirloom seeds. This means they are not new seeds, or genetically engineered, but instead have been passed down from generation to generation of farmers for about 200 year (not these seeds! but the variety). They are organic, that is, I grew them without the aid of chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. I hope they sprout!
Good luck, Steve Breyman
