Hello! Today's puzzle is an Edamame. Have fun!

Rules: Locate some 1xN blocks in the grid which may not overlap each other or the clues. Each block must be at least 3 cells long, and three circles must be placed into each one: one in the cell on each end, and another in one of the middle cells. A clue represents how many of the (up to) four surrounding cells contain circles. All cells which aren’t used by blocks must form one orthogonally connected area.
