Japanese Harb garden

オーストラリアでは　新鮮な状態では手に入らない野菜がいくつか有る。　今まであきらめてきたが、自家栽培に挑戦中。
サラダゴボウ、三つ葉、水菜、大葉、すべてが順調にぐんぐん育っていて　卵の容器でつくったちいさな菜園から可愛い芽をだしている！

There are many vegetables from Japan that we can not buy in Australia in fresh. Greater Burdock is one of them, its tall plant sometimes reaching as much as 2 metres. The root is very crisp and has a sweet, mild, and pungent flavor with a little muddy harshness that can be reduced by soaking julienned/shredded roots in water for five to ten minutes. We planted Salada type Greater burdock, and some japanese harbs Mitsuba(Cryptotaenia), Mizuna (Potherb Musterd), and Shiso in containers. They are growing fast!
