edamame

I am starting to harvest my soybeans. They are still a bit small, but really really tasty. My sister couldn't believe how good fresh edamame tastes.

Soybeans all ripen at once, so I just pull up the whole plant then pick off the beans.

I was impressed to see all the nitrogen-fixing nodules (rhizobia) on the roots.

I planted these my first year gardening, before I had raised beds, and the bunnies ate them all. I should really grow them again. Where do you get your seeds?

Edamame is one of my garden favorites as well - one of the great delicacies I've had to grow every year since I first tasted them in my CSA box!

Enjoy!
