Totally! And I take it as a compliment.
Thanks very much for the acorn! I really, really hope you mention how the F2 seeds turn out next year or this Fall, and even more so how the F3 turns out.
I always used to think that F2's were ALWAYS wonky, but someone with 100 times more experience than I do (HorseShoe?) pointed out that many F1 varieties come PRETTY true to their parents, at least for one generation.
And my thought is that one baby leaf is much like another. If saving F2 seeds lets you sow or plant 3-5 times thicker than usual, you can harvest plants 1/3rd or 1/5th the size, and wallow in gourmet, baby spinach.
That's my plan for Bok Choy, anyway, once I retire and can spend more time in the garden than the time it takes just to weed.
