Note
A very early edamame soybean perfect for zone 3. Like Ezonishiki, it can also be used to extend the harvesting season: sow 3 varieties with different maturities at the same time, Fiskeby or Ezonishiki (ready in early August), Tokio Verte or Galaxy (ready in September) and any of the others for harvesting in between around mid-August.
