    Real Seeds Catelogue

    I ordered some pea seed (vr Juno) Real Seeds Catalogue last autumn. Earlier this week I had an email from them saying they had had complaints about germination, and if I had, please let them know so they could be replaced.

    I replied saying I had not had trouble since I have not planted yet, but even so a replacement package arrived by return of post.

    Full marks to Real Seeds.

    Real Seeds have brilliant customer service and always get back to you with any queries. I had a few problems with some caulis from them a few years ago which I suspected was weather related but wanted to check - they replied within a couple of hours with some excellent advice and offering me some additional seeds when it wasn't even their fault. I turned down the seeds but was very impressed. They cost more than some suppliers but do a brilliant range of interesting varieties and have a faultless attitude generally - they didn't even pay me for this

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      In my fantasy world, all Seed retailers would treat their customers as well as Real Seeds do. Sadly, its just a dream. In the seed business, Big is rarely Beautiful

        Good chaps, real Seeds. I've bought seeds from them in the past, and will in the future. You've got to admire a firm that cuts its own throat commercially by encouraging its customers to save their own seed, and tells them how to!

          Agreed, they're great..and the advice they give on saving and resowing your own seed (or in the case of our allotment association, swapping saved seed within a seed-saving group) is brilliant: How To Save Your Own Seed at Home

            Agreed. However I think that sometimes it is because of this that I return to them for more seeds and pay whatever the price is because I know they are good people doing the right thing.

            Whereas I'll only use a big company if they're offering a really good deal or if there is a voucher code then I'll happily abuse that code to get as much as possible.

            Real seeds are also reasonably local to me so I know seed produced by them, should be fairly successful for me.
