Seedfork said:I started back in the spring and made a lot of crosses. I started using paper tags with strings, but due to all the early heavy rain I lost a lot of tags. Then I hit a spell where almost none of the crosses took, and I just quit tagging but kept crossing. So I ended up with tons of "named variety"x unknown. Then I switch to gym clips and beads and finally ended up with quite a few with both pod and pollen parent names.
I harvested many pods, and planted some seeds and put the rest in the fridge to stratify. So now I have seedlings already, but it is amazing how sporadic they are about germinating. Many of the early seeds that were planted have sprouted, but many have not while others that were planted weeks later have sprouted.
I am still setting pods being I am getting a lot of rebloom now. I have no idea what I will do with them all.
