HYB: seed germination

Looks like about all the seeds have germinated that are going to this
spring without another chill cycle.

The PINK FORMAL crosses had the highest success rate in setting pods and
has by far the highest germination rate.  I was mostly just playing
around with it because it was so healthy - out of 4 pods, there are 19,
16, 9, and 25 seedlings.  The only other cross to germinate many
seedlings were from two TEA LEAVES pods the year before (6 & 11
seedlings in addition to those that came up last year).

So, once again, most crosses have produced only one or two seedlings,
and other than PF and TL, none produced more than 10.  I guess I should
be glad they didn't all germinate, or I'd be buried in baby plants to
take care of.
