After reading another thread on here, it made me think that others are doing the same thing I am...trying to get certain plants to set a pod. There are a handful of plants in my garden that I have made repeated attempts to set pods on . I must have tried 50 times at least to set a pod on 'American Freedom', and finally I did. I tried and tried to set a pod on 'Panic In Detroit' and still have had no success. What did I use to set a pod on American Freedom? Yep, 'Panic In Detroit'.
So I would love for members here to post in this thread plants they are trying to set pods on, also plants that they had hard times with but finally were successful with.
What I would really like to see is people responding to others with their successful experiences with the same hard to set pod parents. How do you determine if a plant is pod sterile. Even with pollen, how do you know. Maybe a plant only makes good pollen on certain days?
I swear I have some plants that seem to have great looking pollen some days and none that looks good other days, is that possible?
I have seen this question pop up here and there about specific plants, but there has been no centralized place to ask about pod setters, so I thought I would give it a try with this post.
