Sharon, this season I made two such crosses that I'm very excited about:
(15 seeds) GIDEON VICTORIOUS (a vibrant red TB) x SATAN'S MISTRESS
(6 seeds) SATAN'S MISTRESS x BEFORE THE STORM
I made other similar crosses, but don't know what to expect:
(45 seeds) ALIEN MIST ('99 pale blue TB space ager) x SATAN'S MISTRESS
(11 seeds) GREEN EYED SHEBA x JADE STONE (an SDB)
(19 seeds) GREEN EYED SHEBA x URIAH THE HITTITE (reblooming TB)
I had 6 successful crosses between quarterbreds and halfbreds. Do you have
any comments about the comparative difficulty of achieving success with 1/4
& 1/2 versus 1/4 & TB. ??
