When to pick the Edamame?

The edamame pods are beginning to fill out. When to harvest?
Here's a link that tells exactly what to look for:  http://homeguides.sfgate.com/edamame-ready-pick-76797.html

Date I planted the edamame:  May 7
Count forward 75 days: July 21 (Rouse the Spouse's birthday!)

From that date, watch for perfect ripeness …
  • bright green color
  • pods 2-3" long
  • pods feel plump, seeds should take up 90% of pod space 
Harvest all pods within 5 days of determining ripeness, BEFORE pods begin to yellow.
