I found a photo from my first garden in 2003.. it was a window sill garden! I was growing mizuna, mitsuba, komatsuna and some succulent plants. I had a new Japanese cookbook and had to grow these vegetables because they were unavailable in the shops. Finding the seed was a challenge.

These days you can get mizuna, mibuna, tatsoi and pak choi at the nurseries which is good. I still have to grow my own gai laan, vietnamese mint and choy sum. We grow lemongrass, coriander and kaffir limes at home because they are expensive at the vegetable shop.

Anyway now I'm inspired so I'm going to go to the nurseries and buy seedlings and I think I'll cook some Thai and Japanese this week! :)
