I've never grown soybeans. We love edamame so I'd like to try. Can I do a fall crop or will I need to wait for spring? I understand they are light sensitive. Which variety is recommended for this area?
We have huge fields of soybeans around us but blocked by thick bamboo and trees. They obviously grow well here, although I am worried about pests. Far enough away that should be okay re cross pollinating.
They have corn across the road this year so I assume it will be SBs again next year.
