Chris,
Are you getting all the rain too? It's been too wet to do much hybridizing
here. Emily (she's 10 now) has been really annoyed -- either we've been
running around or it's been raining. Yesterday was the first decent day for
doing any crosses, so she did Cross Current X Canadian Border. It should be
dryer today, so I'll let her do a few more tonight.
