Default How can seeds be organic AND F1 hybrid?

g'day,

they can be organic from my understanding as they are not a geneticaly
manipulated process, but they aren't heirloom seeds.

with F1 hybrids they are developed to produce, not reproduce so their
seeds might give you any sort of result if any result at all.

if you want to start seed collecting and growing from your own seeds
you need to begin with heirloom varities, they are open pollinated.
