Re: Re: Pollen Strike Rates

Glad to hear some else has cat problems while hybridizing. Our very large
and affectionate cat, Niger, comes and rubs up against me (which is OK) and
my pollen tub (full of little tubes of lots of different pollens) which is
far from OK. I find it very distracting trying to keep an eye on him, while
trying to concentration on pollinating.
