I agree totally.

Buy something, grow it, select the best, let it go to seed, wait wait wait, collect, dry dry dry, split, label.

Then try to trade "some kinda Brassica, probably". Embrassing.

But you can always grow out multiple NO-ID varieties and let them cross. Select them for a few years, select hard. Then call them "DogsNDaylilies Michigan Landrace".
