Hi Wade, I haven’t grown edamame in such a warm climate so would recommend you check in with folks at a local garden centre or Florida-based seed company to gauge timing. Good luck! Niki

Wanting to grow edamame in South Florida what’s the best time to plant after summer? Any special concerns for South Florida growing?

I typically get a few dozen pods from each plant. If you regularly harvest the pods, the plants will produce even more, but if you leave the pods to fully mature and dry on the plant for dried beans, they will not produce as many pods.

Hi I want to grow edamame in cocopeat environment in a fully controlled automated greenhouse. How much yield should I expect from one single plant.

No they can’t. You’ll need to find a seed packet at a garden centre or order online.

Can seeds from frozen store bought edamame be planted for growing?

Good question! But no, only beans in the same species can cross pollinate. Beans are generally self-pollinating and this isn’t a big issue, even within species. If it was a hybrid soybean variety than the saved seeds could be reverting to a parent or grandparent plant, which could look different than the hybrid. That is likely the issue. Hopefully they still produce well for you! Regards, Niki

I planted saved seed and about 1 out of 3 plants have thin leaves not broad leaves as other soy. Could this be a cross with other beans?

Unfortunately yes. Birds often dig up just-planted beans, corn, and other seeds. If this has been a problem, I would cover the bed with a row cover after planting. Just drape it over the soil loosely and weigh down the edges so it doesn’t blow away. Remove the cover once the seeds have germinated and sprouted through the soil. Good luck! Niki

I planted some seeds and not one plant grew. I did notice some birds in my garden bed. Could they have eaten them? If so, how do I prevent this from happening in the new go around?
