There is no scientific backing, only my observation over a few years.  I have
observed that once I get one pod to set, that additional pods seem to set more
readily on that stalk than crosses attempted on an adjacent stalk.  I could
see that multiple pods may possibly decrease seed count in the later pods.

I
also have noticed that the size of the seeds did not appear to affect
germination percentages for me.  Some crosses where I kept comment that seeds
were questionably viable have had very high germination.

Mary Lou, do let us
know if you try,
