How fascinating, I would be really interested to see anyone else's next generation fruit or vegetables grown from saved seed, the weirder the better, I am determined to collect and trial more of my own this year. Not all open pollinated non F1s breed true because of cross over.

Presume that mother was a cauliflower?  Was it a fussy grower or a easy like a brocolli.

Wonderful, but it's tricky to stablise a cultivar with brassicas because they're outbreeders.
