I have been absent from this site for quite awhile. We spent four months working on a rental, my gardens and yard have been very neglected this year
I have been hybridizing for many years and normally make at least 500 crosses. This year I've only been making a handful. Using Harold Steen, Guadamus, Bass Gibson, All Things To All Men, Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding and a few others. We're having a heat wave again, so it doesn't really pay to make the crosses because once it gets to 90 or above they don't take.
I'm in Wisconsin, pods won't be ready till most likely late September. You need to plan on a minimum of 6 weeks for the seeds to mature from the time you make the cross.
