Online Grocers & Things You Can Grow Yourself

i don’t know what an uja is. lol if it’s citron, it would be citrus- like lemon/lime/orange/etc.. which those fruits can only grow in zones 9 and up.. which means places like southern california, texas, louisiana, florida, georgia, etc. yuzu goes to zone 7b, though (think southern oklahoma).. you can get meyer lemon trees and kaffir lime trees and dwarf trees and keep them indoors, provided you get plenty of light in your home. :) you can even get dwarf pomegranate trees!

when i posted this, i was thinking of things more along the lines of chives, napa cabbage, perilla, etc. :)

ahhhh.. yuzu.. okay, i know where to get those. here’s a few sources:

ediblelandscaping.com has quite a variety of trees & stuff available. i recommend getting their catalog, as well as raintreenursery.com’s catalog. tons of stuff in there. even jujubes, quince, etc.

in regards to maesil plums, i think they have those as well. if not, i can find where to get a tree. as far as i can tell, they’re the same kind of pear used for umeboshi…

here’s some satsuma plums: http://www.willisorchards.com/product/Satsuma+Plum+Tree?category=256

if you don’t mind hybrid vegetables, water sun together is a good source for korean vegetables..

http://www.watersuntogether.com/itemList.asp?IT_Cat1=Asian%20Seeds

they have the radishes, lettuces, spinach, cucumbers, chives, egg plant, bok choy, korean peppers, napa cabbage, mustard leaves, etc..

they’re 1.99 a pack… most of the other seeds on the website are 99 cents..

if you want to be able to save your seed, i suggest buying from people that sell heirlooms, like cherrygal.com, gourmetseed.com, kitazawaseed.com, etc. you can save hybrid seeds, but you just won’t know what will come up.. if it’ll be the same as it was the year before or not.. i mean, obviously, if you plant a pepper seed you’ll get a pepper plant.. but you just won’t know which of the 2 parent peppers you’ll end up with.
