Re: HYB:First Cross 2000
From: "Patrick Orr" <PatrickJOrr@hotmail.com>
This was just my first cross of the year. This morning was my second cross,
between Noreen's Delight X New Tomorrow. I am not sure how it will take
since we had extreme wind today, and it dropped in temperature 20+ degrees
from yesterday.
Last year I made several crosses, but only got one pod of 12 seeds. Before
that it must have been 10 years prior that I crossed something with Rustler,
one seed survived the DampOff, but rotted with the winter rains later that
year.
Right now one seed from last year's cross has germinated. On the other hand
I have 10 seeds from Adam Mueller's crosses germinating right now.
This year I plan to cross each and every flower. Then I'll end up with 2000
seeds as you did...lol
