Hi, Folks!

I don't grow potatoes at all (but everyone else seems to be handling the
fingerling questions quite nicely :-)), but I did notice that Jeanine was
also growing perilla.

One of my gardeners sowed it last year and now it's reseeded itself all over
the garden. I hate to let a pretty plant that bees love and deer hate go to
waste -- what do folks DO with perilla besides season umboshi with it?

Thanks for your help, as we've got LOTS of it!
