Thanks, that is very helpful description and I am eager to try it out! I hate using so much pollen when my rate of pod setting is not that high. I have also found that a number of my cultivars are informal tet conversions (dips that never take or set pods, later crossed with tets and then set tons of pods ... finding that someone didn't tell the seller they were sold an unregistered tet conversion of the parent plant). I find that happening more and more!
I don't usually mind having one or the other, tet or dip, but really wish that they weren't getting so mixed up these days.
What a great year of new discovery awaits, when seedlings finally awake and show their faces!
