The seeds I ordered from TukangKebun of
“Kebun
Bahagia Bersama” have arrived! Opening the jiffy padded envelope, I
found the seeds were nicely packed into small resealable plastic bags with
labels.
The seeds look wonderful
and I can hardly wait to plant them!
However, I am currently
running out of gardening space and pots. I have to wait until I can harvest some
of my plants before I can free up some pots to plant these new seeds. That will
be at least 3 months away.
Therefore, before I
ordered these seeds, I was already looking around for some nice containers to
keep the seeds. Since I will be using the same containers for future seed
saving, I want to look for something sturdier than paper envelopes or plastic
bags. I managed to find some nice small plastic bottles, with cork stoppers,
that are perfect for the job.

So, what did I ordered
this time?
Come and have a closer
look...

| Red Roma Tomato |
Red Roma tomatoes that
are good for making tomato paste.
All these seeds are of uncommon vegetables that I do not usually find at a marketplace in Malaysia.
The seeds are heirloom seeds, instead of the GMO type. If I can get these to grow until harvest, I can actually try to save the seeds for future planting. Well, let me make it to harvest time before I even think about seed saving.
By the way, I ran out of
plastic bottle when I reached the Red Roma tomato seed bag. Until I can get
more bottles next weekend, I think it should be all right to keep the seeds in
the plastic bag for this week.
I also found a "Roselle" seed bag, which I never ordered. I am guessing TukangKebun accidentally misplaced the seed bag into my envelope. Since it's by chance these seeds ended up in my hand, I decide to pay TukangKebun to it.
(Update: TukangKebun informed me those are complimentary gift from her garden. Thanks TukangKebun! )

I wonder what is this plant. A
flower or a vegetable?
