Hello Gary Jen and Ruby,

Thank you so much for the award. I must decline it as I don't participate in the giving or receiving of awards on my blog but know that I do greatly appreciate the thought.

Thanks for the information on beans, no need to send seeds as it appears we grow similar varieties. I look forward to perusing through more of your blog when I get a chance. It looks like you have some very interesting information to share and that we grow many of the same vegetables.
