What are the differences between these varieties? Is there a type that the beans are bigger than other type? Because I noticed that there are different size beans in the market when buy frozen. I saw both Butterbean and Envy seeds in the store but they don't really say much about it. I live in N. California. Thanks, “Popular edamame varieties include: Hakucho, Butterbean, Envy, Beer Friend, and Sayamusume.”

I have had success growing soybeans in average soil without much in the way of supplemental feeding but I do inoculate the seed before planting. How much rainfall have the plants received? At this stage you could try spraying them with a liquid fish/kelp fertilizer if you believe they need to be fed. Good luck.

What do they need? Our coastal temps here run between 70 degrees and lows of 45 degrees. What can I put on them for fertilizer?

If you have pods now they should plump up within a week or two. You'll eat the beans inside the pod so you don't want to pick them before they fill out.

How long until we can harvest them? Like Pam, we have large plants flush with may pods (we live near Lake Ontario), but the pods aren’t plump yet. How long until we can harvest them?

There are only about eight of them. To continue my edamame saga... this morning- all the leaves have been nibbled away. But, yes, I am going to try again next year! Please let us know how yours (Pam) turn out. My pods look ready to “harvest” but who cares? There are only about eight of them.

I got three barely foot tall plants with a couple of pods each from planting about a dozen seeds..... in two separate plantings...not sure it's worth boiling water. Congratulations!
