Well, I have sowed a tray of Ustie soybeans from Thompson & Morgan. I believe they need a long season to ripen. Apart from that and what's on the back of the packet, I know nothing.

I think that the UK climate is reckoned to be about on the limit for soya at the moment, but give it a few more years and we'll be OK (partly climate change, mostly new varieties). I'm not sure if you would get away with it, but started off under glass it's probably worth a try.
