Organic Edamame Bean Hokkai Green seeds should be sown in late spring to early summer, once the soil has warmed to about 15°C or higher. This typically occurs after the last frost, usually around mid to late April in most regions. It’s important to plant them in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight, as edamame beans thrive in warm temperatures.
For optimal growth, sow the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 2-4 inches apart, ensuring they have enough room to develop. The plants will require consistent watering, especially during dry spells, but be sure not to overwater, as edamame prefers moderate moisture levels.
Edamame beans typically take about 70-90 days to reach maturity. You can begin harvesting the beans when the pods are plump, bright green, and filled with mature seeds. The best time to harvest is when the beans inside are fully developed, but the pods are still tender. For the best flavor and texture, pick the pods before they start to turn yellow or dry out.
In summary:
- Sow: Late spring to early summer, after the last frost, when soil temperatures are above 15°C.
- Harvest: 70-90 days after sowing, once the pods are plump, green, and filled with mature seeds.
