First crosses harvested
Today I harvested the first ripe fruit from spring crosses: Bloody Butcher x Large Barred Boar and Stupice x Freckled Child. I'll try to turn around F2 seed this summer/fall for these. I also made my last group of crosses for the season. I have over a hundred different crosses set, and other than special projects, most crosses were designed to get earliness, shorter stature, stripes, and/or flavor. I am thankful to the several web resources on crossing technique. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I've been hitting 80-90% success rate the last few weeks.
