New heirloom vegetable seeds from Kebun Bahagia Bersama

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.

Nice right?

So, what did I ordered this time? 

Come and have a closer look...

Banana Capsicum
Banana-shaped capsicum that is supposed to be sweet instead of spicy

Baby Blue Jade Corn
 Mini size corn plant, with kernels that turn blue during harvest time.

Paris Market Carrot
Round orange carrots that looks like large radishes. (Adele’s wish list)

Yellow Pear Cherry Tomato
Pear-shaped yellow cherry tomatoes plant.

Burgundy Okra
Burgundy colored okras.

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?
