Yvan<p>Ah, so <em>Just Seed</em> are one of those examples of something that comes up on Evilzon a lot but in fact you're actually better off going direct to their own website. (Note I speak from being in the UK here!)</p><p>I use Just Seed because they're the only place I've managed to source a "correct" form of Japanese green shiso (perilla) from. Everywhere else has the less-frilly large leaved Korean variety. Shiso seeds have a short viability so our 2 year old packet seems to be kaput, so time for some new ones (and we should remember to gather our own seed, much like with parsley our best shiso crops have been once that self-seeded, unlike the parsley unfortunately that hasn't sustained itself year on year... not sure why.)</p><p><a href="https://justseed.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">justseed.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growyourown</span></a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/gyo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gyo</span></a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/seeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>seeds</span></a></p>
