I received my order a couple of days ago of Masterpiece Broad Beans.
If I was only a novice at growing my own veg then I would have found these acceptable and sown them. However I have had an allotment for twenty four years now. On opening the packet I found the seeds to be the size of peas which appeared to be very old and shrivelled. Nothing like broad bean seeds. Very old.
I have been very wary on ordering seeds from Sutton’s because of similar problems over the years. A few number of the seeds also had holes in them from insects and were unsuitable for sowing.
I have ended up ordering broad bean seeds from another supplier and these are in perfect condition which is as they should be.
I have to say that compared to many years ago when Sutton’s were the seed provider to go to, from my experiences over the last years that I have ordered from you your company is living on the reputation of your forbairs.
