I've gone around the gardening shops I know, and I have to say, I find the lack of seed selection disturbing. Of the local brands I've only got two to chose from - Trio, and Serbajadi. Come to think of it, it is quite disheartening that given our country's agricultural history, we have only two companies dealing with vegetable seeds, and none of the two have any varieties at all. I mean, one would expect at least three varieties of brinjals and several hundred strains of amaranthus (bayam)...
To balance things of, Trio has imported seeds from an Australiasian company called Yates. The seed selection from that brand has been reliable so far, sprouting with no complications. I've sown some baby carrots and okra from Yates, they have been behaving wonderfully. Unfortunately, the selection being brought into Malaysia is pathetic. I tried getting it straight from Yates, but they don't ship outside Australia.
