I don't know if this is standard practice among the giant supermarkets but most vegetables from my usual Sainsbury are named variety, has been so for a good while. So I'm now wondering if it might be cheaper to get my seeds from their vegetables .
I got their Spanish cherry tomatoes, say it's Lupita, never heard it but interesting to know what it is. I gues the same is applicable for peppers.
I also bought their strawberry (from Morocco ) and it says the variety is Festival, again have not heard of this variety before. I've seen a pack of blueberry, nice large sized berries that was labelled as Duke variety. Could I use seeds from the strawberry and blueberry to grow them?
In the winter squash section, they had Harlequin, Buttercup and Acorn (all from Argentina ) but considering how much I paid just for the seeds, isn't it cheaper to buy these squashes.
