Off-types so far (2010)

Tania · March 13, 2010

Another offtype added to the list - Gerig. I got RL seedling instead of PL.

This brings it to:
24% of new to me PL varieties grown this year show some degree of crossing.

I am still waiting for the last LP to get the true leaves to get the final %-ages.

In a meantime, I am also checking my own PL seeds for purity - 2 batches of KBX, Brandywine Sudduth's, Orlov Yellow, and Aunt Gertie's Gold. 20-25 seeds planted in each batch, 100% seedlings are PLs. Still waiting for Gary'O Sena seeds to emerge...
