" BeSweet " Edamame Seeds for Planting, 25+ Heirloom Seeds Per Packet, (Isla's Garden Seeds), Non GMO Seeds, Botanical Name: Soybean (Glycine max (L.), Great Home Garden Gift

I rarely leave reviews but after reading several that stated a poor germination rate and length to germinate I thought I'd share my experience. I received my package 6/1 and immediately direct sowed into a raised bed composed of 50% top soil, 30% compost and 20% garden soil then thoroughly watered in. My package came with 36 seeds total but in fear of the germination rate reviews I put 3 seeds per hole in 12 holes hoping to achieve at least 1 seedling per. To my surprise just 3 days later on 6/4 30 of the 36 seeds had already sprouted. I'm waiting another day or so to see if the rest do. I'm in zone 8b so the soil is very warm this time of year. Hope to have time for these to mature before any frost gets them.

Only 3 sprouted. So disappointed.

I saw mixed reviews so was worried I would get a lot of duds, but there were about 30 seeds in my pack and every one germinated! Pictured first is after 8 days, second is after 18. No flowers or beans yet but it's growing very well. You should probably separate more instead of planting all in one pot like I did, I'll probably separate into multiple pots at some point.

I planted 24 seeds and I believe all of them germinated. No beans yet but they are growing like wild flowers!!!! Highly Recommend.

So far so good. Germination rate is about 50/50. Plants look healthy and green. Can't wait to harvest.I plan to try a fall batch to see how well they do as the weather cools down.

Update: we have baby edamame pods!I have planted 11 of these seeds. 9 have germinated great! The other two were in a hydroponic system so that’s why they may not have worked. My plants are growing so fast and look great! I can’t wait to harvest my edamame!

I've ordered these twice and still have nothing growing from these seeds

The seeds came up but didn't grow more than a couple inches and didn't grow any edamame. We have grown edamame before without issue so we aren't sure if the problem was with the seeds or with our rather damp summer.
