    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 😋

  2. CW: Mention of alcohol

    Once I get home from this last business trip of the year I’m going to again be mixing up some gin and tonics with strawberries and shiso. Was so good last time and now can’t stop thinking about that combo.

    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 🤔

  8. 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🤔

    I wish I had red bell peppers 🤔

    Kids didn’t complain 😊

  16. 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 😮

  17. 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 😋

  18. 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 😋

    Red Shiso is from our yard 😉

  19. CW: Perilla frutescens / kkaennip

    Yesterday afternoon I tried perilla, called kkaennip in Korean, for the first time. I planted some in a a pot this spring after learning that it was a traditional Korean remedy for allergies and asthma. I had thought that it was the same as shiso, but shiso is a varietal (var. crispa) and it looks a bit different.*

    I made the tea by putting about a 1/4 of fresh, crushed leaves in a cup of water and microwaving until boiling, then steeped for 10 min. It tasted okay; a bit like lemon balm with licorice/anis, cumin and a tiny bit of cinnamon.

    Last night I had the best sleep I've had in a long time. Better than the effect from lemon balm or tulsi. Hope there's no tolerance issues.
