My green shiso has just about completely died. My wife already took some
tops for shio-zuke.
I was waiting for the rest of the seeds to fall naturally
as they do each year, giving me an automatic crop next summer.
Yesterday I found 2 squirrels in the shiso patch, breaking the
stems and eating the seed tops. I have never seen this before.
I hope I still get a crop next summer.

New one on me. They eat my pecans about as fast as they can but so far no
shiso. They actually climb the trees and knock them down.
