A popular variety of eggplant in South and Southeast Asia. Small oval eggplant with glossy reddish-purple skin. This variety grows to 2-3” and is a bit easier to grow than other eggplants. Perfect for making masala stuffed eggplant. I was shocking just how many eggplants we were able to harvest off of each plant. If you are consistently harvesting them when they are still small, the plant will continue to put energy back into flower/fruit production. You can also let the eggplants grow a bit bigger and they are still delicious. We made a lot of batches of baba ganoush with the eggplants that got a little too big.
This variety is one of the first crops on our farm to start producing fruits and produces all the way until frost. Grows as a small bush and does not require staking or trellising. Can tolerate colder climates.
25 seeds per packet.
The Nepal tomato is an heirloom tomato originally form the Northern Himalayan mountains. Big sprawling, indeterminate plant producing an abundant crop of 10-12oz (~1/2 lb), smooth, round, scarlet-red tomatoes. Intense sweet, rich flavors. Fantastic early-midseason slicer with sturdy, vigorous vines, crack-resistant fruit, and a heavy set for its size. Can also be harvested green and ripened off the vine. May not be as interesting to look at but the flavor of these tomatoes have made them popular among many tomato growers.
As an open pollinated variety, anyone can save seeds and regrow this same variety next year! Simply squeze the flesh of the ripe tomato into a small glass, add a bit of water and let ferment for a few days. Decant the seeds by adding more water and slowly pouring off the seeds and flesh that float to the top. Do this a few times until the water runs clear and the remaining seeds have settled to the bottom. Strain seeds, dry them on a plate of piece of wax paper and then store in a paper envelope or glass jar out of direct sunlight. Seeds stay viable for 5-7 years.
Minimum 100 seeds per packet.
We have been yearning to grow this pepper for years and finally we received viable seeds to do so! These seeds are originally from Bangladesh, where these peppers are typically sun dried to preserve their heat and vibrant red skin. Don’t be mistaken by their size, these peppers are extremely spicy. Their small round shape is perfect for throwing into dal, curries or sauces. 1 pepper goes a long way in terms of heat and flavor.
Each plant produces dozens and dozens of peppers. Use some fresh dring the growing season and dry out the rest to use in the colder months. We laid our peppers out on a small cloth in the greenhouse and they dried up rather quickly. But the bag of peppers in our fridge also dried up just the same!
If you are looking for a spicy pepper, like really spicy, then we know you’ll love this one!
Minimum 25 seeds per packet.
Capsicum annuum
Long beans are one of the easiest plants to grow and produce a daring amount of food in the heat of the Summer! We planted our long bean seeds directly into the soil, spaced 4” apart, and before we knew it the plants had creeped their way to the top of our trellis and were adorned with the most stunning, delicate light purple flowers.
Long beans require a trellis or fence to grow on. They will continue to produce 12-16” long beans all Summer long. We like to harvest the beans when they are still young and immature. Once the seeds inside have started to fill in, they become too stringy to eat.
Save seeds by letting the beans fully mature and dry up on the vine. Open up the dry pods to reveal the dark brown seeds inside.
Minimum 20 seeds per packet.
