I opened a packet of T & M seeds today, Cucino cucumber which admittedly
F1 hybrids were still not cheaper than any other of their packets.
There were FOUR seeds inside!
I mean to say how miserly is that? Let's hope they ALL germinate

But they do warn you on the web site that there are only four. You
needn't have bought them!

Your talking a load of Bullsh...
F1 has nothiong to do with cropping all at once. I have yet to see F1
cucumbers, marrows, tomatoes, etc all cropping together.
Peas have been breed to crop all at the same time for mechanical
harvesting, but garden varieties still crop over several weeks
