Excellent!

I now wonder what plant is it exactly, or maybe a mixture of baby leaves. There will be a surprise!<br />I know, I have read extraordinary stories about yuzu trees. People apparently graft it onto other trees because otherwise they would never see the fruit...<br />I only hope for decorative plants reminding me of this wonderful fruit we cannot have here. Have you ever thought of anyone using yuzu leaves? They have an extraordinary smell when slightly crushed, so I thought I might use them maybe... <br />On the other hand it seems I have more luck growing yuzu plant than shiso ;-) At least yuzu sprouts! <br />The photos on the blog don't look encouraging... even for a purely decorative plant.

It was so good, I took half of the plate the following day filled with nozawana (imagine the looks from the many Japanese guests ;-) ). It looked very similar to yours. <br />I have sown some seeds today on my balcony and now I wonder do you plant any seeds this year? <br />I have planted some seeds I bought in Japan: mizuna (here it's so expensive and appears in my Japanese shop twice a year maybe), of course mitsuba, some chrysanthemum leaves and something strange called in English "baby reef", do you know what it is? I hope it's edible ;-) I am trying shiso for the third year now... Let's hope it grows. <br />Have I told you I have planted... yuzu? I know, I'm crazy. It will never bear fruits, but I have heard that some people use its leaves and if it's not possible, then I will have a lovely decorative plant in the house. Two yuzus have already sprouted (I have planted the seeds from fresh fruit, after removing the hard shell).

One reason is that the fat around my chin hasn't gone away, and another is that when I walk briskly, I feel I can run, but if I do, I still feel myself rather heavy.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-23094447846311513972013-03-22T04:33:18.815+09:002013-03-22T04:33:18.815+09:00You worked really hard, 10 kg is a great success.You worked really hard, 10 kg is a great success.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-32301937685812498742013-03-22T01:31:15.878+09:002013-03-22T01:31:15.878+09:00Congratulations on your diet success!Congratulations on your diet success!Badcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075801579316733253noreply@blogger.com
