My saturdays are spent as usual in my garden or eventual garage sale shopping with my mother in law. My husband mows the lawn and I am in charge of sowing, ripping some weeds out or harvesting . I have been sprouting seeds and sowing for already two months, I think i am done with sowing for this season until the end of August.
The latest addition to our garden is Edaname or soy beans, which I sprouted indoors, it turned out to be the easiest seed to germinate. Here is a look at Edaname...

Hey Andrea,
How did you sprout those soybeans? I am trying to but have failed. I want to add them to my garden for summer. Let me know please. Thank you! :)
Those gourd seeds sure look funny! Looks like you've got things going pretty well! I'm going to plant some edamame this year for the first time. How many plants do you normally have? What do you typically do for the spacing?
Nice to see young shoots popping out from the ground...
Looks like they are all doing great! Does pre-germinating the seeds give them a big boost when you plant the edemame in the garden?
Thanks! I replied to your questions at your place, if not here :)
@ Megan , they sure look funny, hecka weird
@Dave, it sure does, I put them in the ground and after 5 days I had the little leaves sprouting
This is my first year planting edaname but so far soaking the seeds and keeping them in a moist paper for two or three days gave a good start to those plants, they are so far the easiest seeds to start according to my experience. I am planting in the borders of my yard I have used all my raised beds rooms
Thanks Andrea on the pointers for the Edamame. I am soaking them as I speak. I too have used up most of my raised bed garden space so yesterday I went and bought some storage containers (45 gallon) and some big yellow buckets with the ropes on the side and will be planting other things in there. I ended up replacing my plan for the planter on the concrete with these containers as I think it will be easier for me to bring in stuff to the shaded area in my backyard during winter. I have tons of peppers that need transplanting so I called a local compost delivery (hastiessandandgravel.com) and will be picking up 1.5 cubic yards of compost for the containers and an area in the front yard.Looking forward to summer crops! :)
