shepp 2,285 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I found a link to this website from an article in The Telegraph. My garden is a bit of an orphan. It is lucky to get two man (Emmeline and I) days a week, so I do not want to waste time resowing crops that are failures. The varieties you grow make such a difference to success and with all the seed companies bombarding us with new varieties it can be confusing. Most varieties are bred with commercial production in mind. Commercial growers want good shelf life, tolerance for mechanical harvesting, ripening all together and uniformity. All these attributes are completely wasted on me. Kate McEvoy and Ben Gabel set up the Real Seed Catalogue 15 years ago and they produce only open pollinated seed and grow varieties that tolerate organic conditions (i.e. tough) with great flavour for home growers. http://realseeds.co.uk/index.html Prices are good too.
