Re: Re: [SpaceAgeRobin] New Member Bio Robert Benbow

Thanks Chris, That yellow SA seedling, that you thought looked like it 
had some aril in it, and wanted me to see if it was pod fertile.  Well, 
looks like it isn't.  I pollenated every flower, they would start to develope 
and then shrivel and fall off after about a week.  I tried with But 
Beautiful, Solar Fire (it finally made pollen on the later flowers), and 
Brazenberry.  Oh well, I tried.  I've got tons of watermelons from other 
crosses.  I'll post takes later when I get them documented.
