Organic Butterbean Edamame
75 days to maturity
Glycine max
Description
Sweet and buttery, this is the most flavorful edamame we’ve found. And so easy to grow! Marvelously abundant, each plant is loaded with 3-bean pods with over a week of prime edibility, a longer window than most varieties. If you’ve always wondered if home-grown edamame is better than at stores or restaurants, know this: Each year we grow several hundred plants just for ourselves. We enjoy edamame salted & steamed on summer evenings and fill our (three!) freezers with edamame to enjoy all winter long.

Edamame Butterbean
Direct Sow Only: Once soil is warm after last frost, sow 1″ deep every 3 inches & thin to 6″ with at least 18” between rows. Harvest young pods just as beans swell; we like to harvest an entire plant all at once. Sow every 2-3 weeks through mid-July for continual harvest. Inoculants often increase yields.
Seed Depth: 1 inch
Days to Germination: 8-10 days 70-80 F
Plant spacing after thinning: 5-6″
