~ Reviews of our seed - what some of you said ~

We are really proud of our reputation - we work hard to send out only the best seed, of the best varieties there are.
And it's really nice that so many people have written in to thank us for it!

For external reviews you can check out the comments at Grow Your Own Magazine. Feel free to add to them!

Please note - if you search on the web for reviews - do not confuse us with the "Real Seed Company" who supply cannabis seed.
We are the Real Seed Catalogue . . . and seem to have happier customers :-)

We really do hope you enjoy these vegetables as much as we have enjoyed tracking them down and trying them out in our gardens.
Every one has been very carefully chosen for its particular merit both in the kitchen & the garden,
so we hope you'll choose seeds with complete confidence even if it's a variety you haven't grown before.

But don't take our word for it - here are some nice letters we got from people:

"Thank you so much - the seeds just arrived, all present and correct.
Quite apart from the dazzling selection you have to offer, the speed
and efficiency of your handling of the order is so impressive. Very
grateful, look forward to a most intriguing summer with all these new
varieties..." - Susan

"My grandfather used to sow four seeds per hole, saying One for the mouse and one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow. But I have added, But seeds from Real Seeds, all four grow!, and they do!" - Marsha

"Thanks for supplying such good seed, please keep it up. It's really nice to deal with people like yourselves. All the best." - Tony

"I would like to say thank for my most successful tomato harvest ( ongoing ) for a long time also runner beans, gives me heart for 2011" - Neil Mowat

"Thank you for expanding my culinary horizons and for cultivating such an interesting selection of seeds from around the world. And thank you for providing a good ethical option. I look forward to ordering again next year and saving my own seed too!" - Alex Wendes

"Just wanted to write to say thanks. We ordered a shed load of seed off you for this season and I just wanted to say that we're very impressed with the germination rates and quality of seeds and the growing produce. Everything is doing great. I love it that all your stuff is open pollinated too."
-Maurice Pennance

100% on most things. Never have I had that or even expected it. " - Shirley Hughes

"I must congratulate you on the quality of your seeds.
I had become used to over-sowing seeds from the big companies to compensate for poor germination . . .

Keep up the good work. " - Brian Cogan

great stock (a great idea!) and great service.
We've managed to collect some seed for next year,
but we now want to try other things so I can assure you we'll be back!" - Rachel & Paul
