Shiso (Perilla frutescens) is a Japanese herb from the mint family, it is known by several other names including perilla, beefsteak plant, Chinese basil and purple mint. There are three variations of colour: green, red/purple and bi-colour (green and purple). Each adds spectacular brightness to a garden and they look most impressive grown together in an ornamental bed or at the end of a row in the vegetable patch.

We’re currently waiting for our shiso plants to grow on—more stock is expected shortly, so sign up to be notified as soon as they’re back in stock.

Leaves and flowers of all shiso plants are edible and bi-colour leaves, along with green, have the strongest flavour that is likened to mint with an earthy depth and hints of basil, cumin, cinnamon, and anise. Leaves can be chopped and tossed into salads in place of basil or mint, and added to soups, stir-fries, and casseroles or as the quintessential garnish to plates of sushi and sashimi. The purple leaf is lighter in flavour and is traditionally used for its colour, most famously to add the distinctive purple to ume fruit in umeboshi, a staple of Japanese cooking. Tiny, edible flowers of all colour plants emerge in late summer and these make exquisite decorations and add a surprising burst of characteristic herbal flavour to fish and vegetable dishes and look fantastic as toppings to ice cream, sorbet and other desserts. When the flowers start to turn to seed the buds can be picked and added to soy sauce for an original, fragrant dip for sushi and sashimi.

Although perennial in some Asian climates shiso is an annual, non-hardy plant in the UK growing fast in late spring, rapidly building height and throwing out abundant leaves, it passes to flower in late summer before dying& with the first frost. Capable of reaching heights of over 1m shiso will remain low and bushy if growing tips are pruned in the same way fresh mint is harvested.

Growing shiso is straightforward and rewarding with impressive yields produced in quick time. If you can grow basil you can grow shiso as the requirements are the same. In the garden plant into free-draining, moist soil once all risk of frost has passed, aim for exposure to full or partial sun. In a pot use standard compost and if available, mix in composted bark. Mulch will help in both scenarios, as leaves are more succulent when the soil is kept moist. Harvest leaves, growing tips and flowers throughout the season. The more growing tips you pinch out the bushier your plant will remain.

Please be aware shiso plants will not survive frost. Please harden plants off and plant out when risk of frost has passed. More detail below.

Remove and dry all leaves before the first frost and store for adding to sauces, soups and stews like any other herb. Leaves, either dried or fresh, make an excellent tea.

Shiso is a great source of calcium, potassium, iron, vitamins A, B2 and C and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and rosmarinic acid, which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making them a healthy choice for humans. Shiso leaves are however toxic to cows and other livestock and although they will usually avoid them please cultivate shiso where they cannot be reached by these animals.

Love this book!
Format: Paperback
This is my first time reading a book from this author, and it’s safe to say, I will be reading again! I love the chaos of the twitter war while they are simultaneously falling in love with eachother! This is a fluffy, kicking-your-feet while reading book. This is definitely a slow burn though, I had a little trouble getting into it, but had me hooked a few chapters in! If you are looking for the cutest YA- book, this is it

Very Cute & Fast Read
Format: Hardcover
This was very cute and I read it in almost one sitting. It isn’t a new favorite, but I would read it again and plan on reading Emma Lord’s next book. Pepper and Jack were both great characters. They were well-developed and likable, but flawed. And I definitely connected with Pepper. This took me back to the stress of high school. They both had complexity and felt like real teenagers. Honestly, before I read this, I was very unsure of the reality of two teens running a company Twitter accounts. But Ms. Lord did a good job making me believe how this happened. And I think it is important to remember there are real human beings behind the handle. Beyond the tweets, there were a lot of textual conversations. That is one of my favorite things to read in a book. And these were incredibly adorable. They made me smile and were some of my favorite parts to read. The romance was cute and well-developed. I liked that Pepper and Jack really were becoming friends before becoming a couple. And I thought the conflicts/issues would go a certain way, but they didn’t. I liked being kept on my toes. It also felt organic and like a healthy relationship. There were other relationships, too. Some were more developed than others, but I appreciate the layers. The changing relationship between Pepper and Pooja was beautiful. We stan solid female friendships in this house. Speaking of little things: the LGBT+ rep. I loved it! Yes, it’s side characters, but that’s fine. I loved how much of a non-issue it was. Yes, there are still bigots in the world, but I’m team be the change you wish to see in the world. So, I like a book where characters are just living their lives and no one (adult or teen) cares. That’s the world I want to live in. Ok, this review has gone on longer than I expected. Tweet Cute was such a fun and (fairly) light read. Ms. Lord addressed some serious issues teens face, but it never felt too dramatic. My already anxious mind really appreciated that tone choice. And I’m definitely excited to read another Emma Lord book.

Review - Tweet Cute
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
**Disclaimer: I was given a free e-ARC of the below in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley** Title Tweet Cute Author Emma Lord Release Date January 21, 2020 Description from Amazon Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming ― mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account. Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but when Big League Burger steals his grandma’s iconic grilled cheese recipe, he’ll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time. All’s fair in love and cheese ― that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life ― on an anonymous chat app Jack built. As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate ― people on the internet are shipping them?? ― their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected. Initial Thoughts Ok, can I just take a minute to talk about the fact that I’m reviewing a book that’s coming out in 2020?!? Seriously, where did the year go? It feels like just yesterday I didn’t even know what an ARC was, and now, I’m reviewing books for 2020! Anyway, I was chosen for a Blog Tour of this book in January but I couldn’t resist reading it early and writing this review. Some Things I Liked Gossip Girl vibes. I. Love. Gossip Girl. This book had all the best parts of that story without any of the needless bitchy-ness. I loved that. And, it was self-referencing (in a way). The story cited its parallels to the hit show and I just loved that. Additionally, I loved all of the references to various bits of pop culture. Alternating POV. This was perfectly done. Since our main characters are both harboring secrets that the other doesn’t know, the POVs made this story so much more fun to follow. Grilled Cheese. Buddy the Elf’s food groups are candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup. Mine are grilled cheese, mac and cheese, donuts, and peanut butter cups. This whole story revolved around one of the most epic foods in existence. I also really enjoyed the multi-generational element in both of these rivaling restaurants. Favorite Quote “Full-time vice principal and part-time thief of joy.” “Thief of joy” is one of my favorite things that Michael calls Dwight on The Office. When I saw it used here, I literally laughed out loud. Final Thoughts This book was adorable. I loved every page. I applied for it kind of on a whim since I really don’t read many contemporary novels but this really caught my eye. I’m so excited to be participating in the blog tour in a few months. In the meantime, ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR, like ASAP (or as Michael Scott would say, ASA P as possible 😉). ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommendations for Further Reading Flawed by Becky Bird – if you like cute, contemporary romance stories, definitely give this new release by Becky Bird a try. Cupid’s Match by Lauren Palphreyman – this book isn’t out yet but if you enjoyed the setting and characters in Tweet Cute, definitely give this new release a try.
