Re: HYB: pod-setting technique

Margie
We have a climate that may almost rival yours in summer.
I find that I get very few takes on very hot days, unless I pollinate very
early in the morning on a very freshly opened bloom, but I've always put
that down to low humidity. We never get hot and really humid, here hot =
dry.
