I have always been against F1 seeds mainly because of not being able to save seeds but also because of cost.
Unfortunately after some bad results with open pollinated varieties I am now turning to a limited amount of F1's I have just had some shop bought Calabrese (sold as Brocolli) with my lunch and the flavour and texture were commented on by myself and OH. On looking at the packaging it was grown in Spain and the variety was Parthenon.
I looked up the seeds and they are an F1. I am not saying I will be able to grow Calabrese like it, but I am tempted to give it a go.
