They produce plump, slightly furry pods on stocky bush plants that grow to only 24” tall. The pods average three seeds each, maturing in a concentrated set for easy harvest. Tohya Edamame has great flavour and appealing texture for delicious homemade edamame. This variety still matures later in the season, but it is a bit earlier to mature than Sayamusume and Kuroshinju. Try some soybeans in your raised beds or in large patio containers. They are slow growing but very easy to grow and harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing Instructions (USDA Zones 3-9):\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the last frost date plant 2\" apart, 1\" deep, rows 15–30\" apart in any good garden soil. In extremely rich soils, plants sometimes exhibit overly lush growth, growing too tall to stand up. In this case, plants should be hilled up with soil. Soybeans can stand somewhat dry conditions, but irrigation may be necessary during drought periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pods ripen at once. Clip plants near base when the beans are plump in the pods. Beans attain their highest fresh weight just as pods begin to lose their bright green color. Hand-strip remaining leaves. Shelling tips: strip pods, rinse, and steam or boil for about five minutes or until tender, after which the beans can be easily popped from the pods. Boil in salt water to complete cooking. Package for freezing at this point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDRY SOYBEAN HARVEST: When at least 90% of the leaves have fallen and the pods are dry, pull the plants out by the roots. Complete drying under cover if the weather is wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buyamerican.mom\/collections\/vegetable-seeds\"\u003evegetable seeds\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buyamerican.mom\/collections\/garden-seeds\"\u003egarden seeds and growing essentials\u003c\/a\u003e at BuyAmerican.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:PRODUCT-DETAILS:END --\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- BA:SPECIFICATIONS:START --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican grown seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as seeds for planting.
