Honestly, with my raised beds, between compost, seeds and fertilizer I probably lose money compared to buying tomatoes from the store. Home grown garden tomatoes are 10x better quality than grocery store tomatoes.

Bro I been growing edamame. Holy fucking shit. You'll fucking cum.

Soybeans. You've been growing soybeans.

Is edamame specifically when it's in food form?

[–] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There are lots of different foods made from soybeans, like tofu and tempeh. Edamame is young, whole soybeans cooked in their pods.

I should do that next year. Grow a bunch of stuff for the first time hydroponically this year and it has been fun. Even though the pruning gods would murder me if they saw my tomatoes.

yeah? our light is very poor in our back garden. the only thing that thrives, that I've found, is gerkins, so thats what we grow. tiny cucumbers, and we pickle them.

we tried regular peas and beans, and it was OK, but there was so little fruit at one time we became completely confused as to how anyone could have enough for a whole serving at any one time.

Whats your light situation like with the edamame? do you just boil/salt them and eat them like you would in a japanese restaurant?

Yeah but then what do I do with the leftover edamame?
