Re: HYB: Applying Pollen
From: "Mike Sutton" <suttons@lightspeed.net>
Personally if the pollen looks nice and fluffy I leave it alone. If it
looks old and dry I carefully put it in my mouth and breathe on it. I have
never been much of a spitter. Breathing adds moisture to the dry pollen and
seems to revitalize it. Much better success rate after humidifying the
pollen.

Zone 8 - wettest Feb. on record and now it's cold. I hope the rest of you
in the US are enjoying our weather.
