Thanks for the link Susan.
LariAnn, I really appreciate all the information. Invaluable.
I'm not quite ready to try crossing any plants, but I was always curious how you manage. Now I know! All my EEs started off as tissue cultures, and seemed to take awhile to get going, but this Spring has just been incredible. I made sure to heavily amend the bed (milorganite, oak leaves, bales of peat moss, compost/manure, etc) and have been providing a steady stream of food and water. They've all doubled or tripled in size since the warm weather arrived. It's been great.
