Michael, are you sending Dan green shiso seeds?
I'm in New York and my green shiso has reached the end for the year.
I managed to get a few small leaves but they are tough enough now
that I had to shred them for use with my Hirame and Katsuo the
last two days. This afternoon my wife will remove the tops and
make shio-zuke with the seeds.

Yes, need any?

I'm in New York and my green shiso has reached the end for the year.

Yea, mine are going to the brown, "making seed" stage of life. I live on a
farm in piedmont NC so I have a few areas where I let the shiso go wild.
I'll be havesting seed this weekend. The plants are all from seeds
purchased in Kyoto about five or six years ago (how my time w/ Itochu seems
to dim) at a garden store there.

Oh that's nice. Mine are from from Hyogo-ken so they are probably =
related to yours.
I brought them back 5 years ago, and every year they naturally grow.

BTW, I have finally succeed in growing Myoga here in NY, although the =
deer target the
leaves and stems. Also for the first time in 5 years the deer have been =
"nibbling" at my shiso.=20

The red shiso I had overtook anything that in the 2' X 2' planter box. It also
spread out into the lawn, but got mowed away. I found a seedling about 75' away
from the box.

That's funny. I had less problems with Japanese beetles eating the shiso this
year.. but never deer or other animals.

As stated before we live on a farm and the free ranging chickens do a
number on the shiso. Two patches are out of their area and are doing well
but the patches within their roaming area are simply sticks w/o leaves or
seeds. Guess I have chickens w/ good taste.
