I'm sorry!  An estimate or guess is good enough for now.   Basically I wanted 
to know if people are making crosses with high seed  counts.  Or lots of 
single pod crosses.  
 
My habit is to cross all open flowers on a stalk, but I use the same pollen  
for all.  Often I get 2 pods per stalk and sometimes three.  I try to  go back 
about four days later and cross any new flowers that have  opened. 
 
I've left this spring open to make crosses and plant seedlings so I'm eager  
to push the envelope.  Hoping for many dusk to dawn days!  I'm  looking at my 
plant lists through rose colored glasses!  <vbg> 
 
 
 

Make more crosses!  If you don't cross them, you can't   plant them!
