Beans 2,500 years old have been preserved
in graves in the Andes.

I remember as a child of about six years old,
my mother sitting in the shade of a tree in our backyard with a couple
of my aunts snapping green beans as my cousins and I played around them.
We were careful not to get too close. If we disturbed them we would
be handed a bowl of green beans and told to "help." They sat on kitchen
chairs brought out for the occasion, their hands never stopping as they
talked of their gardens and the produce they had been "putting up." Each
would give an inventory of the produce they had canned that season.
"I put up 53 quarts of pickles this year." one might say. Another
would brag of the, "24 pints of corn in my freezer."
