I had gotten a seedling from them.

It was coming along beautifully until some critter dug it up and ate the
roots!

Interesting, I have always thought wasabi was a paste made from
horseradish..

From what I've heard, most of the "wasabi" provided in sushi bars is
green dyed horseradish, which is a lot hotter than true wasabi. To me,
real wasabi is fairly mild and it it smells good.

I'm impressed that Nick tried to grow it. I'd love to have it and
shiso (perilla leaf) in my garden, but so far no luck with seeds.

Yes, the stuff I eat is very hot, just as I like it - th eonly "hot" thing I
can tolerate really hot I love the flavour even though I have probably
never tasted the real deal. Horseradish will do for me then.

Which reminds me that I like the dried peas you can buy that are coated in a
wasabi blend (or probably horseradish).

I had trouble last year and the year before with the lemon cucumbers. Can't
tell you how many times I had to replant. This year I am growing nothing
except for the nasturtiums that Angela started for a school project. Our
weather was just too cool for too long.

Generally a green dyed mixture of horseradish and mustard.

It was a seedling. I haven't tried it from seeds. I love shiso (aka
beefheart).

Funny how that is. Jun can eat habaneros, but can't stand horseradish. ;-|

Yes. We get those, too. They're real good, albeit not too spicy!

My 8 yo granddaughter is starting some blueberries from seed. Soak in water
for a day. Refrigerate (moistened) for a week or two. Germinate for a month
to a year at room temp before planting. PITA!

Sounds like it! I wanted to plant some berries by our back fence. Not
blueberries because we don't like them. But my husband kept spraying that
stuff that kills everything back there. So I gave up.

now that sucks, Lee
