Soybeans. You've been growing soybeans.

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?

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.

“Your little nutsacks are gonna be quacking buddy.”

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

we actually switched to gerkins. so, if theres ever a day where we can't buy pickels, we'd have them, but not the pickling ingredients as we can't grow our own vinegar

I live in Ireland, we don't pay for water (or even waste water out like they do in Germany), but the rain has been non-stop this year with the gulf stream. I've also just intalled a water butt out of a 500l repurposed whiskey barrel (again, Ireland) so that also helps with not having to use the hose (they call it the hose pipe)

Collect the condensed water from the aircon.

That's what rain barrels are for
