Default Getting broccili seeds

Even hybrid seeds should make really good broccoli sprouts, don't

Anyone have any experience with this? I had this "light bulb
moment" this year and I'm trying it with the broccoli and
cauliflowers that got away from me this year. Thought, oh, well,
I'll just save the seeds. LOL

If anyone knows any reason why this won't work, please save me
some time. My problem is trying to find the space to dry them
this time of the year in BC.

There's nothing wrong with doing it just for fun. Even hybrid plants
will give seeds that will grow into something edible. They just won't be
as consistent as the original seed. You wouldn't want to do it if you
were trying to make a living by growing produce but as a home gardener
it can be fun to see how it turns out.
