HI,
Thank you all for this interesting and helpful thread.
I too have had disappointing results from Organic Catalogue seeds over the years. Like others on this post, I always thought it was down to my mistakes. Now I know I can cross that supplier off the list.
Rhys recommended Real Seeds to me a couple of years ago and I am very impressed with the performance of their seeds – mostly very good germination rates with healthy, strong plants full of vitality resulting. As previously mentioned, they dont do any F1 hybrids – consequently I am cutting down on those in my plantings, but follow Charles’ recommendation of Mr Fothgills for any F1 or other varieties not supplied by Real Seeds.
Cheers, Beverley
