Some of my green shiso plants have started flowering. I'm saving their seeds to share.
Grow both green & red shiso to boost your cultural herbal/culinary gardens diversity.

*Red shiso has a more bitter taste & is better cooked up in soups/stews/stir fry foods. Green shiso is milder & better for adding to fresh salads.

This morning, I started 4 pots of propagated lavender cuttings.

Harvested a bunch of older Thai lemon mint & Vietnamese coriander from our repurposed bathtub planter. Allowing new growths to come up & fill the bathtub planter again.
I never grow these in ground - only in controlled containers.

I have a bunch of these free peat seed starters & am making them into guerilla seed-ball bombs by adding some compost soil/clay & assortment of native plant seeds & herbs/food plant seeds. They'll be easy to throw out, from my scooter or car window.

My #SeedsBomb making supplies minus the clay & compost soil. I have millions of native edible plant seeds, mixed with herb seeds, hemp/marijuana seeds & native wildflower seeds.

#Feverfew is a longtime #herbal plant that's been used in ancient traditional #Chinese #medicines for generations. Ancient European cultures used it as medicine too. Feverfew is also used to make fragrances. I grow a lot of them.

I grow #ThaiMint & #VietnameseCoriander out of one of two repurposed bathtubs that I use for #gardening purposes.
Vietnamese coriander isn't a true coriander. It's actually an #edible #knotweed. Never put these into the ground if you don't want it to spread. I grow all of ours in containers. I have 2 large grow bags with lots of them growing. I grow lots of both of these plants because we use them in/with our Asian foods often.

All through Summer we are prepping for revival of our free community #SeedsLibrary - will update as things come together. I'm back at HQ on Monday afternoon.
Plan on a soft launch this Fall & a hard launch next Spring. We have millions of locally donated seeds to still sort, package & organize.
