Cathy, I suspect you may have something here! Linda, If you still have some
of these stalks see if you see any damage from chewing or boring insects.
Betty Wilkerson Zone 7 SouthCentral Kentucky ----Remind me to tell you about
the year that most all the pods & stalks rotted. Slimed is more like it.
Wet and overcast spring and summer. I remember putting the seeds & pod
"slime" in a flour sifter and hosing until I only had seed left! Ugh!
Planted things that year that I thought couldn't possibly come up cause
they'd only been crossed about 5 weeks when the stalks started rotting. I
had stalks and pods everywhere. Most sprouted anyway. (58 known crosses)
Would have probably been 158 if not for all the rot.
