TBH until I joined G&G I never gave F1 seeds much thought, if I liked it and it was cheap I grew it. I'd be lost without sweetcorn swift which is F1, but if forced I could probably find an alternative, but I still have several pkts of seed so it won't be for some time. I like Shirley, sungold and Akron tomatoes, but I'm sure there's others out there I could choose. The tomato list this year has far fewer F1s than in previous years.
