This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.
peas planted!

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?
ReplyDeleteEdamame 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!
