You just can't save seeds off F1 varieties it doesn't work.
Sorry.
How do you mean 'trialed these seeds' ? Have you grown them in clubroot infested land? and more to the point do they work? Do the plants still get clubroot but show no syptoms? Or is there something in the plant which puts a guard round the plant? And finally what is an F2 then? ( In laymens terms please!) And finally, finally where are the clubroot resistant other brassicas, cauli, sprouts etc Any ideas?
