(Japanese follows / 日本語は下に)
Recently I got seed packs from Japan. I have a few gardening friends in Germany, who are interested in Asian plants. Shiso (Perilla) is one of them. You may know it as a garnishing served with Sushi.
(The above image is from wikipedia.)
Difficult thing about Shiso seeds is that they don't germinate next year any more. Even I intensively grow them especially the red one this year, good to share them rather than let them die at my place.
Today I packed some Shiso seeds to share with my gardening friends. He is a professional gardener and one of my first friends in Germany. I think gardening made us friends :)
Writing a letter can be something old fashion in this Internet time but I'm always happy to write a letter to share seeds. I wish I can share this feeling with others by spreading the idea of @planthub.
If you want to try some red, green or front green - back red Shiso (from left to right in the photo on top), please feel free to contact me. I can share around 10 seeds per each. Detail of the offer is:
- Name of plant: Shiso (green/red/green-red)
- Seeds from: Japanese gardening store
- When it's bought: Spring 2019
- Expires on: Aug 2019
- Shipping from: Germany
- Shipping to: EU
- Amount: 10 seeds
- Price: 0 (Small tip with Steem/SBD to manage shipping cost is welcomed)
- My Discord account: akipponn#0011
Thanks to my friend in Japan, the seeds were shipped via postal mail and passed quarantine at Frankfult airport. I will write about shipping or bringing seeds beyond borders some day.
Happy gardening!
先日お友達に日本から種を送ってもらいました。これはまた別途書きますが、郵送で植物検疫を通すことができます。
今年は紫蘇ジュースを少し多めに作りたくて、赤紫蘇をたくさん育てる予定ですが、それでもこの種の量は使い切らないぞ w 紫蘇は1年で発芽しなくなってしまうので、うちにおいておくのはもったい。プロの園芸家のお友達に聞いたところほしいとのことでさっそく小分けにして郵送する準備をしました。
このインターネット時代に手紙を送るなんて時代遅れもいいところですが、私はこの種を郵送で共有するなんとも幸せなプロセスが好きなんです。一度植物に関する本を中古で買った時におまけに朝顔の種が入っていたことがあって受け取るのもうれしいのです。このなんとも言えない楽しさや種つぎの楽しさを@planthubで広げていきたいなあと思います。
これまた国境に阻まれてしまうのですが、英文投稿では紫蘇の種をオファーしてみました。誰か興味を持ってくれるかな :)
Yes please, I would like to try some red Shiso! I will contact you in discord during the week :)

Okay, I have done some reading: it suggests that green is better for eating.

Arigato from my side too :) It's a kind of experiment to see seed exchange works on Steemit.

種交換機能すると楽しそうですよね。こんなボーダレスなプラットフォームなのに植物なのでかなりボーダーにしばられますが ;)

Hm - perhaps an exchange? I have some black kale (see my last Actifit report). If anyone else is interested in that I would share (same conditions).

シソ〜(￣▽￣)梅干しのために育ててましたよ。
しそジュースは結構コチラでも皆さん作られてます。
ウチは梅ジュースですが(爆)
バジルとシソと白菜の種ってなんであんなに多いのか毎年思いますー。

紫蘇、多いですよね。バジルはまだよく年でも発芽するものの。。本職の農家じゃないよ〜〜と思いつつまけるだけまいて、お友達にも分けて・・・です。
