What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Chiba Green Soybean Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a compact, highly productive edamame variety prized for its large, bright green seeds and consistent performance across diverse climates. This bushy soybean adapts well to home gardens, raised beds, and small plots, delivering dependable yields of mostly three-seeded pods. Perfect for gardeners seeking a flavorful, protein-rich crop, Chiba Green provides a rewarding harvest with minimal space and effort.

Nutritious, Protein-Rich Homegrown Edamame:
Chiba Green soybeans are valued for their tender texture and naturally sweet, nutty flavor when enjoyed as fresh edamame. Harvest young pods and steam lightly for a delicious snack or side dish, or allow beans to mature if you plan to use them for tofu, soy milk, soy flour, soybean oil, or fermented foods. Their versatility makes them an excellent option for health-conscious cooks and gardeners interested in growing their own plant-based protein.

Compact, Productive Plants:
Despite their modest size, these bushy plants are impressively productive. Each plant forms abundant pods filled with large green beans that hold well on the plant and freeze beautifully for long-term storage. The compact habit makes Chiba Green a natural fit for small gardens or high-density plantings without sacrificing yield.

Reliable Garden Performer Across Climates:
Known for its adaptability, Chiba Green grows successfully in a wide range of environments across the United States. Its reliability, strong germination, and steady output make it a particularly good choice for beginners or gardeners eager to incorporate more protein-rich crops into their garden rotation.

Why Customers Love Chiba Green Soybeans:

  • Large, sweet green edamame beans perfect for fresh eating
  • Compact, bushy plants ideal for small gardens and raised beds
  • High-yield pods with mostly three large seeds each
  • Excellent for freezing or using in a variety of soy-based foods
  • Adaptable and dependable across diverse growing conditions

How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost once soil has fully warmed. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, spacing plants to allow air circulation. Water regularly during flowering and pod development. Harvest pods when they are plump and bright green for the best edamame quality, or allow pods to dry on the plant if harvesting mature soybeans. Freeze fresh beans soon after picking to preserve sweetness and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
