Shouldn't be more chances with the 2012 cross than the 2008. Just be careful.
If one is dilligent with their records, it is highly unlikely one would mix seed. If you are concerned about problems of pollination, you can strip the anther and all falls off the pod parent so that a bee or other insect doesn't have as much chance of making an errant pollen deposit. I don't know of any way to stop the crawly insects.

As I was afraid, I got a post formatting error. I did not intend my last post to be one continuous paragraph. I used my email client to compose the post. I used carriage returns to create paragraphs. That did not convey paragraphs. What might I do differently?New paragraph (NP), lol: My point is one mis-attribution of parents and the monkey wrenches that that might throw into a program. Not one of genetics per se. Yes, provided the parents truly are the same, sibling from A x B 2008 and sibling from B x A 2012 all share the same inheritance probabilities. But say there is a protocol error and in 2010 the label on B mistakenly got placed on C then you have a whole new ballgame. You thought were getting all A/B siblings but you were not. If the gene of critical importance is on B and not A or C then you can see how the program might go down years of dead ends.(NP): Sibling from the same pod incur less risk of mis-attribution of parents. So pod siblings and non-pod sibling have a difference in terms of protocol. (A suitable program numbering system might not assign a formal term to this difference but it can convey the relationship.) Certainly it is often not possible or practical to work from the same pod set; a hybridizer has to repeat a A/B cross in order to get more A/B seeds, or there is a 1/16 chance of inheritance and 4 seeds in the pod. One does what one has to despite the chances.----------------------------------------------------------------- ----To sign-off this list, send email to majordomo@hort.net with themessage text UNSUBSCRIBE IRIS
