I picked my first large batch of soy beans today a.k.a. edamame. We are having a wedding shower for my daughter and a salad bar is on the menu. Some of the items will come from the garden, some from Cedar Grove Cheese. The beef is courtesy of the Black Angus that we bought last fall from a local farmer. Not enough lettuce in my patch so that had to be bought in mass quantity. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and kohlrabi all were grown on the soil we live on.
The soy beans make it to our table much better now that we have reduce the surplus populations of chipmunks. Two years ago they stripped the plants clean in less than two days. Last year I left a few beans on the plants to mature and go to seed for this year's crop. The seeds all germinated very well. I think I will try to not buy any seed this year and just rely on the homegrown variety.
