This is all interesting. Batch testing by an independent body would be brilliant, a bit like the “Cask Marque” signs you get on the pumps of real ales; I always like to see those shields on my favourite beers 🙂 Great marketing ploy for seed providers too.

I’m going to go with sowing small batches of seed as soon as it arrives in Dec/ Jan, which should give any replacement seed time to arrive, ahead of the preferred sow date. To be fair, it’s only the Santero I’ve had issues with so far! Could simply be an oversight on one individuals part – let’s hope!
