Title: Soya Beans
Post by: loz on February 02, 2005, 14:16:49
Has anyone ever attempted to grow soya beans?  I have seen them recently in a catalogue, and was wondering if they produce a worthwhile crop, or if they are unreliable in the UK

Hmmm Thanks guys.


I think I will give them a try, T & M sell them, is that where you got yours yuetlee?

I'm always a bit iffy with 'non UK' beans since I tried lablab a few years ago and got nothing at all. Mind you asparagus peas were OK.

well yes. I firstly order from them T&M online. But when they arrived with other seeds they have no stock.  But That's the one I really wanted. I manager to find a shop which sell T&M seeds. And they have some in when I handed the voucher that T&M sent to me and they're not accept >:(
I will sow them later on.  I will tell you what the result like! Good Luck!
