As you may know, last year, Jambican Studio Gardens had an edamame harvest event last September and so many people were happy to harvest or buy fresh Edamame!
Soybeans are important for Japanese food culture. If not harvested as edamame, you can harvest this produce as a soybean. Soybean is used to make miso, shoyu, tofu,natto.. So many wonderful Japanese foods, the whole process of growth and harvest is very precious and beautiful. Edamame is comparatively easy to grow compared with other crops, even for those newbie farmers who have never had any experience growing this popular bean.
Jambican Studio Gardens are initiating a new opportunity for all people to learn about farming, growing Edamame on their farm in a community garden!
You grow Edamame yourself from sowing seeds in mid-June to harvesting in mid-September! Depending on the weather, you may need to weed twice a season.
To participate, individuals, families or groups will have to come to weed around the plants at least twice before harvesting edamame.
Jambican Studio Gardens will provide seeds, give advice and offer help as necessary. To register for this wonderful opportunity, please contact Project leader Kumiko Watanabe @ jambikumi@gmail.com. Participants must arrange their own transportation to the farm with every visit, and visits can be scheduled via Kumiko.
Jambican Studio Gardens is located at 2969 River Rd, Manotick, ON K4M 1B4
Happy Farming!!
