Annual
The 'Kurogoma' black sesame variety (Sesamum indicum) presents a distinctive and valuable addition to agricultural practices, prized for its culinary significance and potential health benefits. As an annual flowering plant, its growth cycle is marked by a series of crucial stages, and cultivating this variant successfully involves adherence to systematic guidelines.
Healing Properties: While primarily recognized for culinary uses, 'Kurogoma' black sesame seeds contain essential nutrients such as healthy fats, protein, and minerals. Consumption is associated with potential health benefits, including antioxidant properties.
Growing Instructions:
- Germination Time: Black sesame seeds generally germinate within 5-10 days. Sow seeds directly outdoors after the soil has warmed or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for later transplantation.
- Germination Rate: Maintain soil temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination rates.
- Soil Preparation: Provide well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0, favoring sandy loam or loamy compositions.
- Seed Planting: Sow seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. Optimal row spacing is approximately 24 inches.
- Sunlight and Watering: Ensure full sunlight exposure for the black sesame plants. Consistent watering is essential, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between each watering.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer during planting and supplement with nutrients throughout the growing season if necessary.
- Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Implement pest control measures as needed. Black sesame plants generally exhibit resistance to many diseases.
- Harvesting: Harvest black sesame seeds when the capsules turn brown, and lower leaves begin to fall. Cut the plants at ground level, dry them by hanging, and proceed to thresh the seeds for collection.

Surprisingly fun and informative- a good series!
Format: Paperback
Bought this and the Paris book for an 11 year old girl before a trip to those cities. Although I felt like some of the quiz activities seemed a little too easy for her, the book provided an incredible array of information (current, historical, cultural, cuisine etc) presented in an entertaining way. She seemed to enjoy the book before and during the trip. She likes to read, and enjoyed getting a preview and information about of some of the places and things they would see. Would buy another in the future if they plan to travel to somewhere else covered in the series.

Good book for children, an abundance of information
Format: Paperback
This book is ideally for children who will be traveling to London. It's very packed with information and places to visit, almost to an overwhelming way.
The book starts with a fill-in section for children to fill out who's traveling and how they're getting there. It follows with some information and history of London, including a mention of Hamleys Toy Store (I wished they had put more about Hamley's in there -- it's one of the largest toy stores in the world!). It delves into how you could get around in London-- by Bus, Tube or Taxis.
It continues with the array of tourist attractions that you can visit in London, starting with Buckingham Palace. The list includes the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Gherkin, the House of Parliament, and Trafalgar Square. It mentions the numerous theme parks, zoos and aquarium that you could visit. For children that enjoy a real scare, the book mentions the London Gundeon and London Bridge Experience, which could actually be too scary for children (there are actors there with mock-chainsaws that chase you!).
Towers the end, it informs you about the London Eye -- essentially, a large version of a Ferris Wheel. I would say that this should go towards the beginning of the book because it should be one of the first things done to better see where everything lays out in the city. The book mentions shopping spots, including Oxford Street, Bond Street, Knightsbridge, Covent Garden, Carnaby Street, and Piccadilly. I had wished they mentioned the Camden Markets -- where there is great street food and you can bargain for your souvenirs. Camden was an essential part to my shopping list.
The book also mentions the numerous museums and theaters that London have. It's impossible to mention all of them, but it hits the children-focused ones.
The book tries to involve the children in the abundance of information it has. Like I said, it's almost overwhelming, but London itself is quite overwhelming. There's no way to be able to inform anyone of London without this much information, so this book is manageable and great for children. They could have focused a bit more on some items, but then they'd leave out other items. It did a good job trying to level out the fight of quantity vs quality amongst the tourist attractions mentioned.
*** I have received this item at a discounted rate for my honest, detailed review. ***
