Specialty herbs question

[musicisgood]

What are some of Japan's specialty herbs ?
Also where can I buy the seeds for them?
Also for potato seedings, what are some popular Japanese names . I want the ones that are a little bigger then the small sizes.

thanks

I finally got ahold of a free garden lot. Lady isn't charging me. Wow!

If you want to grow herbs in Yamaguchi, go here.
"みんと村(Mint Village)"

I think you can get information on herbs that can be cultivated in Yamaguchi here.
The mint swallowed up well in Japan is "どくだみ(Houttuynia cordata)".

I say Po-tay-to... Endless Varieties of Potatoes in Japan

In language school, I learned one word for "potato" in Japanese: ジャガイモ (jagaimo). Turns out, real life isn't as simple as language school wo...

But there are a ton of local varieties. Maybe "Kitakamui" is closest to the kind you find in most US supermarkets?

In the U.S. potatoes would be the #1 waste of garden space in my opinion. 2kg of potatoes cost about $3 or less.

Here potatoes can run as high as 70 yen each. I know they take some space but I wanted to grow them due to their cost. Also I'll try my luck with sweetcorn . Which I can land some land where I can grow some watermelon. They are expensive. About 22 to 34 bucks a piece here.

Today I planted the Hokkaido potatoes. The 2 kilo bag was about 35 potato seeds.
Also today I bought some heirloom Aomori garlic which I hope to plant tomorrow. Its not to late as I understand.
