Chiba Green Soybean Seeds
Substitute for Lanco Soybeans
About- Early maturing with large seeds. Sweet, buttery, and high yielding, it is one of the leading green vegetable soybeans available. Consistent heavy producer, yielding over 90% two and three-seeded pods with a clear pubescence. Plants average 16-17" and are well-branched, tall and sturdy. 5-7 days earlier than Midori Giant.
When and Where to Plant- Select a sunny location and plant in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth over with a rake. Firm soil over seed and keep soil moist.
Care and Harvest- Grows best in a soil with a pH between 6 and 7, and just a light application of garden fertilizer. Water at ground level to reduce the probability of disease. For green shell stage, pick beans when the seeds have formed and the pod is firm when squeezed. For dried beans, allow the pods to dry on the stalk before picking.
