I finally got my order of rare Nara seeds in after like a month of waiting...

And with my order I got a bunch or mystery seeds... I know one is some type of pepper seed.. But what are these other ones?

The first one is pepper/capsicum, second could be basil, I'm not 100% sure, third is tomatoes. The forth, I have no idea.

I would say that you have borage seeds there at No. 4

Borage is a great plant for feeding into compost, and it is a great companion plant for strawberries and tomoatos (so I've heard). Be careful, though, it is a masssive plant when it grows.

I had it for my strawbs, but in the end it dwarfed all other plants in my plot.

Finally someone knew! Thank you. And I think you might be right I just looked up the seeds... Never heard of borage before but sounds great. Edible flowers taste like a mild cucumbers! Cool

Just to stir the pot a little, I saw #2 as onion or chive as well. I do not associate the little divot and point that I think I see on those seeds with brassicas, although otherwise they could be. Most of my brassica (broccoli/radish/kale/mustard/etc.) are more spherical, that's all.

I thought basil for #2 as well. I have a few different varieties and they certainly look like that photo.
This is cheeky I know, but I made that assumption also based partly on the fact that they seed prolifically and would be good cheapies to use as a giveaway ;-)

Well Nara seeds a fairly expensive bugger's and hard to find if you can... Apparantly borage is counted as a rare seed... At least some types are.. Idk.. I guess in the very end best way to find out is to plant it... But I have a head height to follow so I'm trying to figure out were to plant them without the plant touching the ceiling...
