Yeah, I think the hybridizer on some of my seedlings is A. Ant! Rolling on the floor laughing They are quick Blinking

I just use large, long tweezers on those 15 volunteer bloomers over here ... one swipe and the anthers are all in its grasp. A gentle turn of the wrist and they are all detached and quickly into a plastic pill box ready for the fridge.

But A. Ant, my in-garden mentor, is hinting that maybe I will get more pods to set by dabbing first and tweezering second (preserve the fluids until pollination has taken hold - about 20 minutes after dabbing) .... Shrug!
