   I do not line out my arilbred seedlings until the fall following the spring of
their germination.  In a pot of ZEZURA X TEL AVIV, I am continuing to have 
germination.  Four more seeds have sprouted in late June and early 
July.  The pots with the arilbred seedlings were moved to the shade 
in mid May when the weather turned off hot.  I am thinking that the 
'coolness' of the shady spot prompted further germination.

  I gathered my first tet LA pod.  It had one seed in it that looked 
like a peanut, not the usual 'crescent' configuration of a typical LA 
seed.  This is the first pod ever on a tet LA.......SNOWY CHANGE.

The above are a few summer observations from
