Choose with Confidence


Every variety has been carefully selected in our trials,
so we hope you'll choose seeds to grow 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:



 

I bought some of your Early Jalapeno seeds a little while ago. 18 seeds, you said, and 18 seeds I received. I sowed them in a bog-standard heated propagator and, only four days later, I had 100% germination. I'm just a tad pleased.
Thank you very much. - Mike Griffiths.

Your seeds are fab and the veg is noticeably tastier. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Tracy

 

"The tomatoes [Latah and Dr Carolyn] had the most stunning flavours,
far superior to the usual bland supermarket offerings.
Even my grandson, who normally hates tomatoes, was impressed. Hence the repeat order.
Applause too for the quality of the seeds and growing instructions.
I was amazed at the germination rate -close to 100%.
Had so many plants I gave neighbours a couple of trays.
They were equally impressed by the taste."
- Bob

"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

"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."

"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
