Testing my 2018 crosses more thoroughly

Since two of my 2018 F1s had seemed to totally resist germinating, I decided to test all of my 2018 F1 seeds.   To recap, I already sowed 48, 22, 13, 16.  13 and 16 had multiple germinations with only 6 seeds sowed each.  After a failed attempt and repeat tests, 48 and 22 failed (total 18 seeds) and 57 failed (total 36 seeds).

Therefore ~5/16/19 I sowed 12 seeds each of the remainders - 56, 30, 18, 40, 45; There were only 2 seeds from #26 and the fruit was poor, so not expecting those to work but I sowed those too.  Incubating these outside since it's quite warm already.

As of 5/23/19 there are a few plants emerging, including one from #30, ZPT x GDZ.  Transferred to 4 inch pot.
