WOW! Sounds like a commercial operation! What are spoon tomatoes? Also- I
would like to try and grow the kind of beans that you get in Sushi
restaurants- they steam them and serve them as an appetizer- They said they
were soybeans-they come in a pod and you shuck em and eat them- Are these
soybeans? And if Not -does anyone know what they are and Where I can get
some?-Teri
