Soya Beans / Edamame
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2017 8:07 pm
I've had some success with growing these - actually free seed so even happier!
Now I've been looking on the net to see when these might be ready. (Can't read the sown date on the label to work it out in days). All the sites show something very different to mine though!
My question is - the hairy bit around the seeds on mine are brown & all the pics & videos show green hair around theirs, but don't stipulate this is a sign they are ready but talk about leaves yellowing & the like! Does the hair change colour as they ripen as well or do I have a different variety? I just don't want to miss them at their best as apparently the window to get them sweet & not starchy is only about a week.
