Cultivation method:
Edamame 'Envy' prefers well-drained soil, rich in organic matter and requires regular watering, especially during pod formation. It is recommended to sow the seeds directly in the open ground after the last frost, leaving a spacing of 10 to 15 cm between each plant. For a better harvest, it is advisable to keep the soil moist, especially during the early stages of growth. Once the pods have formed, you can harvest them fresh or lightly cook them for a tasty and nutritious taste.
This variety of edamame is ideal for vegetable gardens, providing a source of fresh and tasty plant-based protein. It is also compatible with companion plants such as corn, radishes, and beets, but it is best to avoid associations with garlic and onions.
