This is great information, thanks! 7:00 pm...wow, have never done crosses that late.

I think because of my cold climate, there may be some that never get to clump up, in that they have more of a struggle to survive. Nothing wrong with beginner's luck, Betty...we all could use some. I don't have any of the ones you mentioned, James.

I always start out the season with about 60 to 70 or so chosen pollens to use. As I get older, I do assign more and more pollen wires to cultivars that are difficult to pod set. I did that with THANK YOU DAD and GREYWOOD COWGIRL CASANOVA this year because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss using their genetics. Both are stunning.
