Thank you, I was hoping someone would get some use out of that large 
clump of postings. Its almost too late for us with only two weeks left 
for crosses to take.

Based on the "temp" photos I would expect even more prolific effects. it 
might be a good idea to ask the members of the CIS to look for BSE's in 
their gardens. It would give you a larger database of possibles

Thats a fact! Cold spells have lasting effects. A bud that is just 
beginning to form during a cold spell will show the effects weeks later. 
The maximum observed heat effect would be withered buds and that is only 
a relatively short time effect.

HONEY SCOOP would be a viable substitute. SAGE is after all a numbers 
game, a large as possible"Stud Book". The larger the data from a 
particular cv cross is best but an overall collection of the numbers 
resulting from all the horned crosses, spooned crosses, and flounced 
crosses will be valuable data. This first year is all trial and error. 
Adjustments next year will include more people with the same cv's as 
well as matching up recommended pairings to bloom times.

Glad to here about the AB's . I am sure many folks will be interested in 
just which ones. WALKER ROSS is the only Zone 4 success I have seen 
mentioned.
