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 🤔

Nothing is impossible for this red shiso 🤔
Let’s see how it goes 😊

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🤔
