Market Farming

["Wiediger, Alison" <awiediger AT Hart.k12.ky.us>]

We have thought about edamame as our "something new" for this year.  We're
known at our market for the new and different.  What variety did you use,
where did you get the seed, and how expensive was it ?  Also, how many days
(approximately) to maturity ?  Thanks!
