Edamame Harvested at City Farmer

We all like to snack on salted edamame with our sushi when we dine out at a Japanese restaurant. But you can see in this video that they grow well in a home garden. Sharon chose our variety from the Salt Spring Seeds catalogue but there are also varieties in the West Coast Seeds lineup.

Wikipedia says: The Japanese name edamame is commonly used in some English-speaking countries to refer to the dish. The Japanese name literally means twig bean, and is a reference to the short stem attached to the pod. This term originally referred to young soybeans in general. Over time, however, the prevalence of the salt-boiled preparation meant that the term edamame now often refers specifically to this dish.

omg. they're BEAUTIFUL!

With all my new veggies & my new interest in gardening, it didn't even occur to me to try growing edamame--& I snack on it ALL THE TIME (though I don't feel bad because this is the only video I've seen on growing it, so I can't possibly be the only one who hasn't stepped up).

That did it! I'm trying it--& if it pans out well enough, it'll probably be the only legume variety I grow next year! --& TONS OF IT!
