Tohya

80 days, determinate — The plants are sturdy, erect, grow twenty six inches in height and produce beans that are large, plump, light green in color with black eyes. They have a superior taste and texture making 'Tohya' a very popular edamame variety.

Edamame is a popular snack in Japan, served with beer. Because it has health benefits that other snacks do not provide, it is becoming popular in the United States.

Our original source was soy collector and preservationist, Chris Martin (CO MA C) who originally received the variety from Dr. Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds. Each packet contains 25 to 30 seeds.

Planting Instructions: Soybeans are a tender plant and should be sown after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Planting them at about the same time as corn is a good rule.

Sow seeds about one inch deep, three to four inches apart. Although you can plant in rows, they can be planted densely and allowed to form a canopy. This will help control weed growth. Soybeans are tolerant of drought and poor soil since they fix nitrogen. They will, however, benefit from fertile soil.

Soybean flowers are perfect (self-fertile) and cross pollination is almost non-existent, making saving seed easy. Allow pods to fully develop and dry on the plants.
