Francelle,
I think you have done well with your seedlings and have made
some interesting crosses.
Keep in mind that there are good years and bad years, and 2002
may be one of the bad ones. My germination is off to a slow start
as it was in 2000, when we had no winter. But, last year made up
for it with tremendous germination.
On the crosses where there is no germination, place the pot in a
shady place and water it occasionally if there is no rain (and there
probably won't be in AZ). When it cools down in the fall, start
watering the pot on a regular basis and you'll probably have some
germination in the fall. Set the pot back in the sunshine after it
cools down. I had two such pots from last year that didn't sprout
until last fall. On very cold nights, I put them inside the garage.
The seedlings are about six inches high now and ready to
transplant.
Keep us posted on further sprouting and also the interesting
crosses you make this spring.
