For your information, we have included some information for some varieties which will be suitable for sowing in the spring of 1996. While the Garland Chrysanthemum is a true chrysanthemum, in that it bears traditional style chrysanthemum flowers, it is also a superb vegetable. It is extremely popular in the Far East because of its lobed leaves and strong aromatic flavor. The Garland Chrysanthemum should be sown after your last frost of the spring season and should produce the first mature crop within 35 days. While it is slightly late to plant some of the other varieties of beans, now is the time to begin planting soybeans.
Edible Soybeans are a very tasty and nutritious podded bean.
Plants will grow 2-3 feet tall with abundant clusters of 3 large beans per pod. A favorite use of the soybean is as a snack. Many people will boil the podded beans until bright green and then eat them with a light sprinkling of salt. These should be planted a few weeks after the last frost in your area. They will mature in about 75 days.
