I've made crosses pretty much every day but a lot failed when we were having our heatwave. Even after it broke I'm still getting a large number of crosses not taking. So far I haven't collected any pods. I do have a couple of pods that I can wait to mature so I can plant them! But I added a lot of new plants the last two years and some ended up as NOIDs. I did crosses just to figure out ploidy and wouldn't you know that a lot of those crosses took!
I'd love to plant a lot of seeds this year but I just don't have the space. I have a very long list of seeds I'd like to start. I'm going to have to narrow it down somehow. I don't think I have room for more than 25 seedlings but I'll have to plant twice as many seeds since I have a high rate of seedling death after the first winter outside.
I'm also going to have to keep a sharp eye on the squirrels. They love to eat the pods! I haven't decided on spraying the pods or just putting the organza bags over them.
