I planted "Envy" at the end of March, was harvesting end of May. Most pods had 2 beans, some 1 or 3 beans. I planted a second batch in late April. Plants are very small, about the size of bush beans, I don't know if the plant is finished after the first flush or if it makes a second "batch". I'll have to wait and see. Taste is just like edamame that I have eaten elsewhere.

I grew Envy, summer 2009, first time with edamame ever. It grew great with no special attention, in a spot with marginal full sun. I had a fine crop of pods, every bean was tasty, none got tough or starchy as I feared they would if I had left them too long. Maybe I was very lucky but probably this bean is forgiving of beginners. The beans taste like a green vegetable with a hint of peanut taste.
