Last night, I came home to a find that I had received a gift in the mail from Marie at 66 Square Feet. And it was the best kind of gift - one that keeps on giving - seeds! Now I'll be able to add some Dragon's Tongue beans and Piracicaba Broccoli to my growing list for this spring. The artwork on these seeds packs are stunning and definitely worth keeping. You can check out the rest of Hudson Vally Seed Library's heirloom seed collection and art packs here. Also, if you haven't done so, please check out Marie's blog, which is all about the greener spaces and edible places of New York City. Thanks again, Marie!

Thomas, what a thoughtful and beautiful gift from Marie. The artwork is beautiful!
Just remember at the end of next season when these beans have dried on the vine and you are collecting seeds from the Dragon's Tongue, you have "friends" who would enjoy just a couple of seeds. lol I just couldn't help myself.
Have a great Thursday Thomas!
Those seed packages are really very beautiful! What a thoughtful gift.
Neat, great gift!
That is such a beautiful bean. Nice gift!
It's almost as rewarding to collect these seed packages as it is to plant the seeds! They are gorgeous.
You will love the Dragon Tongue beans, they were my favorite bean last season. They keep a nice texture when cooked but sadly those all the purple color. Excellent eat beans though and you can harvest dry beans from them as well.
*correction: but sadly lose all the purple color... :-)
Lucky you! I guess in a few months we will see the photos of your pretty beans too...
Hi Thomas
