Realseeds are amazing, all my favourites have come from them with the exception of a nice yellow plum cherry tom my wife planted this year. I have also had some stinkers, mind, such as a Strathclyde kale which never did well on my plot, but I suppose that is the nature of heirloom plants - they are adapted to particular soils and climes.
I have really enjoyed their Huazontl 'aztec broccoli' which is a goosefoot similar to 'fat hen' - tender spears of flowerbuds which steam like asparagus and taste like a cross between spinach and quinoa. Really easy to grow and highly productive.

What variety did you do? Another chance for me to plug the “special Swiss” sweetcorn from the real seed company https://www.realseeds.co.uk/sweetcorn.html which has never failed me.
I had the first cobs over the weekend and they were excellent. I’ve barely watered them this year (been so wet I haven’t needed to) but did a bit to get them established.
I went for some F1 hybrid last year and got zero cobs off 40 plants.
