Red shiso is slowly taking over the little myoga forest in our backyard 🤔🌿
Both make delicious condiments 😋

My grant proposal is almost finished. 🙂
I was thinking about going fly fishing tonight, but it looks a little too warm out 🥵
Instead, I may cool off with some fresh-picked ingredients from the yard 🤔
(Limes are from a grocery)

We planted Myoga several years ago, so they come back every year 😊
I’ve also noticed a lot of red shiso growing although we didn’t plant them here 🙄, which is perfectly fine since they make such excellent condiments 😋

we go back to the year of 
the shiso that grew 

taller than mama, grateful

Perilla colony in a small island of Darby Creek 😮

It’s like Shiso (var. crispa), smells refreshing, but invasive 🙃
I see perilla a lot this year 🤔

95°F (35°C) again today 🥵
I guess I shouldn’t complain about staying indoors and getting a lot of work done 🤔
Mint and shiso are refreshing at least 😊
Maybe mohito instead of sake tonight 🤔

Another batch of refreshing red shiso is growing in the wrong spot 🤔 Instead of moving it, I will use it for dinner tonight 😋

Red Shiso is growing in a wrong spot🤔
The last time I saw something similar, I moved it to a “better” location, but it stopped growing 🙁
So, it seems this is actually the right place for it to grow🤔

The mint family is one of the larger families with 236 genera and over 7000 species it contains most of our culinary herbs such as #rosemary (Rosmarinus) #thyme (Thymus) #mint (Mentha) #oregano (Origanum), savory (Satureja), #basil (Ocimum) #lemon #balm (Melissa), #shiso (Perilla) #sage (Salvia). It is also home to Chia (Salvia hispanica) made from the seeds, Chinese artichoke (Stacys affinis) and the Kaffir potato (Coleus esculentus), both forms of edible tuber.

I just realized that the picture of Shiso also had another mint family right next to Shiso😊

Green - Egoma (Perilla frutescens)
Purple - Shiso (Perilla frutescens var. crispa)

Only one Shiso, but I saw a lot of Egoma 🙄

Both are from Asia, but growing on a creekside trail in Southeastern Pennsylvania 😮

Red Shiso on a creekside trail 🤔

This shouldn’t be growing here in Pennsylvania 😮
Looks like invasive, and found in North America 🙁
I almost picked this up for my dinner, great condiments 😋

I #harvested some #food from our front gardens:
#sorrel
#Shiso
#ThaiBasil
#Arugula

For part of Mom's #salad eats. She's picking some of the mixed lettuces from backyard food gardens to add to it.

Wife and kids are doing some fun activities at the Saturday Japanese Language School, while I am working on my research grant proposal 😕

So, I added many ingredients that I found in the fridge 😋

Happy #MisoDay! This shiso #miso turned out better than I could have expected, partially due to forgetting about it for an extra year. 😳

I have been wondering if this is Japanese Shiso (beefsteak plant) as this pops up in my yard from time to time. Google lens tells me - yes, it is 👍

It must be derived from a gift that we got from our friends🤔 They gave us a Shiso plant when they went back to Japan several years ago. At that time, we failed to keep them alive, but they are still here 😊
Shiso makes great condiments 😋
