seedlings 8/4/2007
A couple seedlings for today.
It has been too hot here for good seed set this past few weeks, I am guessing that roughly 2/3 of the flowers that I had pollenated have fallen off.
Always a good thing here to have early bloomers.
Have a great weekend everyone

Dave, I believe that by crossing these seedlings back to their mothers and doing this for a few years I will have produce a streaked plant that is very tough, fertile and stabile. Of course if it was not fun for me to see what happens when I do these crosses I would not even be growing seeds. It rea...

The rate of streaked to green is always different but 30 percent is O.K. some times it will be 90% or 0% you just never know. To me that i...
