Supermarket Squash

You can't fool us, Demeter. We know the conditions under which your tomatoes meet their ends. But just you wait...their offspring will ketchup with you !

F1s are hybrids. For example if you had an F1 tomato variety - let's call it "Hildegaard" - it would have been very carefully produced by crossing two parent plants of different varieties - let's call them mama "Hildeblum" and papa "Kierkegaard"....

Ah right, thanks. Makes perfect sense.

I've grown supermarket squash seeds too. They are free and the results, while not always the same (though they usually are) are very nice and certainly worthwhile.
