Re: Korean Radish

Are garlic stems what we in the northeast U.S. call garlic scapes? Looks like this:

I don’t think they would wilt in the right way, though Koreans do make banchan with them. I think you’re better off with green onions/scallions for most recipes.

I’m definitely not an expert gardener, and the seed packet on perilla seeds would probably tell you more, but when I planted it in a container in NY, it started really sprouting in July and kept going until it just froze. It might have lasted longer if I’d brought it indoors.
