Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Sowing:
  • Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
  • Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed trays or pots with good-quality seed-starting mix.
  • Maintain soil temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best results.
• Outdoor Sowing:
  • Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (16°C).
  • Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spaced 2-4 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.

Germination:

• Germination typically takes 7-10 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
• Provide bright light for seedlings to encourage healthy growth.

Transplanting:

• If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least two sets of true leaves and the soil is warm enough.
• Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 5-7 days before planting them in their permanent outdoor space.

Care & Maintenance:

Watering:

• Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the early stages of growth and while the plants are flowering and forming pods.
• Ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid waterlogging.

Fertilization:

• Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to encourage strong plant growth.
• Soybeans are nitrogen-fixing, so you may not need additional nitrogen fertilization.

Support:

• Edamame plants benefit from light staking or support if growing tall varieties, as this helps reduce damage and encourages optimal air circulation.

Weed Control:

• Regularly check the garden for weeds and remove them to reduce competition for nutrients and water.

Harvesting:

• Edamame are typically ready to harvest about 70-90 days after planting, when the pods are plump, green, and the beans inside are still tender.
• Harvest the pods by gently pulling or cutting them from the plant.
• To enjoy as edamame, steam or boil the pods for a few minutes until tender.

Culinary Uses:

• Fresh Edamame: Boil or steam the pods and enjoy as a healthy snack, or toss them into salads and stir-fries.
• Frozen Edamame: Freeze the harvested beans to enjoy throughout the year.
• Roasted Edamame: You can also roast the edamame beans for a crunchy snack.
