  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.
