Lamb’s Ear is the softest plant ever. I love stroking its leaves and was very happy to do so at the herb shop we visited today.
I didn’t buy any, though. Instead I picked up parsely, sage, rosemary, thyme, margoram, basil, shiso, lemon balm, tarragon, wild strawberry, lettuce, yarrow, lavender, and eucalyptus. I would have purchased more, but I’m not sure I have enough pots or space to plant everything.
This little garden shop in tucked away in Harajuku–right next to the Yahoo Cafe and around the corner from Fujimamas but I never remember what it’s called–is the city’s best source for all sorts of medicinal and cooking herbs, ornamental grasses and quirky garden plants.
As soon as I have time tomorrow, I will be planting these in our little niwa off the living room. This summer’s kitchen garden!
