What is "Below Standard Seed"?
Simply put, it is seed that doesn't meet our state's (Utah) germination standard, a standard that varies slightly from seed to seed. Any seed intended for gardening that has a below standard germination rate cannot be sold alongside those that meet the state requirements (which often reflect the national requirements for germination).
We send samples of all our seed to the Utah Department of Agriculture, where they perform several tests to assess the quality of the seed. These state-wide and national seed standards are in line with Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA), which exist to ensure consumers that they are getting the highest quality seed, as advertised. Since this seed doesn't meet the state standard, we mark it as "Below Standard Seed".
Low germination seeds are non-refundable.

How to Grow Midori Giant Soybeans
Sowing too early in the season might induce thick plant growth and lower pod production; it is best to sow in the early summer. Warm day temperatures and cool night temperatures are vital for good results. The seeds will rot or fail to germinate if overwatered. Keep soil moist but not soaked before they sprout. Afterward, allow for the soil to dry between waterings.
Fertilize if the plant appears pale in midseason; avoid high nitrogen content. Soybeans prefer a temperate climate and have no frost tolerance. No staking is required. For cooler climates: soybeans do well in frames, unheated greenhouses, or under cloches. Plant next to nitrogen-hungry crops for maximum compatibility.
Harvesting Midori Giant Soybeans
Harvest when the leaves have changed from bright green to a slight yellowish-green color. After harvest, leave the roots in the ground to decay and release their nitrogen content to enrich the soil with nitrogen for other crops.
Culinary Tips
The young green pods of the Midori Giant are best steamed, boiled, or stir-fried. Blanch fresh beans and freeze to store your extra harvest for a winter treat. Prepare edamame, part of traditional Japanese fare, by boiling fresh pods for 3-4 minutes in salted water. Serve them as an appetizer or snack.
