Morning all,
I am soon to be venturing out and buying some vegetable seeds for my first experience of 'serious' (as defined as researching the best growing conditions and preparing the ground before putting the seeds in as opposed to simply putting the seeds in the ground and seeing what happens!) vegetable growing and I was just wondering if it is wise to sow F1 & non F1 seeds in close (close being defined here as within the same allotment patch) proximity?
I've read about both the 'advantages' and 'disadvantages' of each and I find the degree of independence growing crops which I can collect the seeds to grow another crop very appealing. I also find sowing F1 varities which may show more resistance to certain conditions also very appealing.
Thanks for your time and help,
Samuel
