I got the seeds from Kitazawa Seed company.

What I would love to grow are some maesil plums... unchienne on "Online Grocers & Things You Can Grow Yourself" http://www.maangchi.com/talk/topic/online-grocers-things-you-can-grow-yourself-1#post-2472 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:15:54 +0000 unchienne 2472@http://www.maangchi.com/talk/ I recently ordered some perilla and sook-gat seeds off ebay. I usually like to order through evergreen seeds, but they require a min. purchase and I only have the yard and time to do just a couple this year. Wish me luck. The warm weather plays havok on the chrysanthemum plants and make they flower (I live in S. Georgia). Never tried perilla before, but I've seen peoples yards with it growing and it looks like they're fairly hardy down here. I hope so as it's not readily available for me and neither is the powder.

Although it's always bothered me that the "English" button on the hmart site seems to be purely decorative. It's always been my dream to plant uja seeds and grow ujas and make my own uja tea. But I don't even know what those things are called in english. "Citron?"
