Today it was evident we are past peak bloom. I think I like this late season we had this year. I have never seen our season so late or going so strong into July. But it is July and now temp forecasts have mid and upper 90's and hints of turning really hot and dry.
A few late seedlings are just starting to bloom and I wanted to call it a season for hybridizing but it will not be easy to stop now that I have some new blooms.
I make so many crosses that I usually say there will be more than enough seeds no matter what happens. It is a matter of how many we can plant and take care of.
I harvested first seeds today. A couple pods from sibling seedlings and typical of my crossing for this year. I have focused on my seedlings and most crosses will be seedling crosses.
I always forget what I did until I harvest pods and check tags (if I got it marked).
The first pods were marked.
