tveguy3 said: It's never to early to talk about pods.I wasn't going to make a lot of crosses this year, but I ended up making more than I should have. As luck would have it, only 4 of them developed into pods. For the first time I was able to get a pod on Strawberry Shake. I've tried to use it both ways for a long time, and this year, when practically nothing worked, I got a pod on it. I crossed it with Hope Springs Eternal. It's still not harvested, so I have no idea if or how many seeds are in it.

I also crossed the pollen from one of my seedlings ( Super Hero X Tuscan Summer) to Hold The Line, and have a pod developing.

Hold The Line It's more yellow then my picture shows.
On a whim, I crossed pollen from Noble Gesture to Maui Wowie, and got a pod. First time getting Noble Gesture pollen to work.
I also crossed two of Brad's seedling, Pollen from 12-12-B with 13-4 (Jealous Guy X Bratislavan Prince Prince)

12-12-B Smoke and Thunder x Class Ring
Maybe in a few years we'll see what happens. One thing for sure I'm glad I didn't get pods from all of my crosses, or I would be in trouble.
