Not that I don't buy hybrid seeds every year, but it'd be nicer to save seed and get a replica of what was grown previously.

Agree. In fact, I was thinking about collecting seed from hybrid 'Packman' broccoli this spring and start selecting. 'Packman' has performed reliably year after year for me against a ton of other varieties and it's getting harder to find. Only two companies of the eight or so catalogs this year have it. Hybrid 'Blue Wind' is the only other broc that's come close.
Love that Gypsy pepper too! Very prolific and the best producing pepper I have.
