Not the most shining examples of nature's beauty. I mean, it's no sun-setting-over-a-wildflower-ringed-serene-lake-while-a-V-of-geese-fly-south-for-the-winter-overhead.
But, you know, they're soybeans. Only so much I can do. Maybe they get prettier as the season progresses. I doubt it, of course. But maybe.

Haha, you crack me up, mr_s! Soybeans.
ReplyDeletethose are some tasty looking edamame-to-be...
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they only get uglier because they dry down a lot before harvest. So you're going to have a field full of half-dried out, dying looking leaves with those ugly, fuzzy pods.
ReplyDeleteAt least that's what chick-pea fields look like and they're related and have very similar morphology.
And I find corn a whole lot LESS picturesque now that I've had to work in its fields. The edges of the leaves all have microscopic silca platelets that scratch the skin like pieces of broken glass. I hurt just remembering that summer...
Oh, they look MUCH better than the ones I grew in pots on my windowsill. You'll have a nice appetizer. Check out Maangchi if they do dry down and you need ways to cook 'em other than fresh steamed edamame!

ReplyDeleteWell, technically, these aren't mine to eat; these are being farmed by someone else, in a field which happens to abut our property. So they're convenient for photos, but I'm not going to be eating them. Just watching.
