Yes, Debra, 80 in one day. When I went out yesterday, I figured I might find 30 pods but I was in for a big surprise. Most of these were pollinated from May 15 - May 20. I was really a busy bee during that period, really busy!!

The 70 that I got bagged up and in the fridge yesteday were from May 10- May 20.

On my last count, from all the crosses I wrote down, I had about 2000 pods set. I'd say a 1500 pods will be harvested from the way it looks.

I just counted and I've harvested over 280 pods so far. That's more pods than I got all last year. I started 6-20 with just a very few with most of them coming the last week. I'm a good 3 weeks ahead of my normal pod gathering days but everything has been really early this year.

Wow, that's plum scary, I went crazy pollenating and I just stopped 2 days ago. The heat basically stopped all seeds from setting. It's going to be alot cooler this week and it's rained the last 2 days. I guess me being my crazy self, Ill dab a little pollen this coming week but it won't be much. Two things, not many blooms and I really really don't need anymore Whistling
