Jim,
    Let me say that with your brief bean story I feel I do not have enough 
details to comment properly, but I will anyway. First, why would your 
neighbor spray his lawn with roundup. Was he trying to kill his whole yard? 
Or is it possible he used a broad-leaf weed killer? Did you know before you 
took the clippings. Just looking for more details.
