Everything I sowed March 7 has germinated pretty well. I was very happy to see my CPxIR seeds germinated well! ~80%. I was then eager to see if I could already see phenotypic differences intermediate between CP and IR. I believe that the F1 cotyledon leaves are greener and larger than those of the IR seedlings, suggesting they really were fertilized with CP pollen. On the other hand the F1s seem to have a darker color in the stems than the parental CPs. Won't know for sure if they were cross-pollinated till fruit emerges.
Since I had no more seeds left for Flamme (FL) and Hawaiian Currant (HC), I had to re-order these and sowed them yesterday, March 19, along with some extra CP and BC seeds, and sweet basil.
