If I ever find my garden paper, I'll know what variety it was. Even if I don't those in that garden were all heirlooms and I can save seeds from the next one.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-53600647214283809802011-06-21T13:27:04.180-04:002011-06-21T13:27:04.180-04:00The deer eats the tomatoes and the snake eats your...The deer eats the tomatoes and the snake eats your eggs!

I guess the beans are out this year but I do still have some in the flower garden by the house.
