Lemon Balms and Perilla



Ottawa City, Ontario, Canada
June 16th, 2013

The leaves of lemon balm are added to my lunch  and so as perilla.
I found that lemon balm leaves are smaller than perilla.
The undersides of Perilla is also purplish - while lemon balm is plain green.

Sweet Potato - Blackie (accidental harvesting)

august 15, 2012
ottawa city, ontario, canada

i knocked down the pot of my sweet potato blackie, and it was totally upside down. I got no choice but cut off the vine, put it in flower vase to have another sweet potato.

so, i have harvested 3 small tubers. the color is white.


we have a BBQ in the afternoon - and the color of the sweet potato is light yellow. the taste is really sweet, and i really love it. so I am hoping to harvest more sweet potato soon, around fall.
