Welcome Kenny -- double welcome as a new hybridizer. If you give us a little information regarding your goals, I'm sure you will get some knowledgable advice. Here's one bit quite unsolicited. Use the very best parents you can get your hands on, whether you can afford them or not. The time wasted and frustrations suffered by using inferior parents are much more expensive! It's really easy to produce fairly good new seedlings, but producing very good ones means using the best (and often most recent) parents from other hybridizers. And then visit their gardens, if you can, so that you can see what they have coming along for introduction in three to five years because that tells you whether you are competitive. Good luck!
