Thanks Bill.  Sounds like a good approach to rot control.  I would never have
thought to use such a strong mix of clorox.  That's about a cup to a gallon
of water?  That's about the concentration that I dunked mine in, but then I
rinsed them in water and only put a teensy drop in the water with the diluted
Sprite and Flower Fresh.

How long after pollination is mid-June for you?  Most of my crosses were done
during the second week of May, so they have another month to go? Do you add
any source of nutrients, sugar, etc?
