John, I'm soooo glad someone else out there shares my problems! Do people
at work often question your glassy stare? The one you get when your hands
fall from the computer as you think (early on) of what to cross after work or
on your lunch break. Now I know why I don't cross a lot of pinks and
oranges--they bloom at the end of the season here when I'm "burned out" and
the pollen is dried up from the heat.
It's such fun, I think I'd make the crosses if I had to give the seed away!
