gets to be able 3 feet before showing any blossoms. very beautiful and bushy foliage. dark small spots may show up on the bottom leaves - this is due to backsplash of water onto the leaves from the ground causing some fungus or discoloration. (not a huge problem to worry over).
fixes nitrogen from the air (like other beans and peas).
i believe it is the planting of this (and sugar snap peas) which had dramatic effects on the plants that were planted around them.
August 2008:
All of the soybeans were picked during late July / early august. verrrrryyyyy tasty! keep in mind that the harvest time for soybeans is a very small window. so when you touch the pods and you find that the seeds in them are fairly large and close to eachother (like you can not fit much of your pointer finger between two seeds in the pod, they are ready for harvesting. i read that all the soybeans on one plant would be ready for picking at the same time. this was not the case for me. i did a few harvests before picking them all and putting the rest of these plants into the compost bin.
