Today it was time to pull the edamame out of the ground!  We harvested quite a lot of bushes!Empty harvest basket for size comparison.  Talina and I sat on the front lawn and pulled bean pods off the bushes for a while.  When we were done we had quite a few beans!

More than fit in the original harvest basket, so we pulled out the collander, too!

In the end we had over 4lbs of beans – combined with the bushes we gave away and the ones we ate already, we easily grew over 5 pounds of edamame in this year’s experiment.  We blanched and froze several bags – can’t wait to pull them out this winter!
