The next to the last cross above? How much inbreeding is that?

Ring Around Rosie X Whispering Spirits
They're sibs right, both are the same cross as listed below.
((Edna's Wish x Wild Jasmine) x sib) X ((Edna's Wish x Wild Jasmine) x sib)
Now, that is inbreeding, a long line of the same.

Way to go slate, have your camera ready in a couple years.

Do you eat the seeds and todays free haul

Oh, yes, I eat the seeds! I rarely get any pumpkins from the neighbors although I try to keep my eyes open for them. After halloween, though, I get good solid pumpkins from the store or roadside stands. Doesn't anyone else eat the pumpkin itself? It is a yummy vegetable (even the so-called "field" pumpkins)& easy to cook, and it freezes well. The peels go into the compost pile.

My tomatos quickly reached the top of my fence wire trellis ....what to do? I placed bamboo poles from one trellis to another and created a horizontal support for the toms....a pergola of sorts I've been using pantyhose loops to tie the leaders to the bamboo to train the plants up and over the bamboo......with the available sunshine the fruit set is huge ! These are MoneyMaker....Tolstoi....and Rutgers last week...(stepladder-aerial-view) doug and pam

Pretty lucky indeed :) Oceanside? Are you serious? We go fishing off the pier all the times. Valley center is pretty nice but I dont know about growing quince. Cherimoyas would be a big hit especially with the asian communities down here but you moved east for mangoes instead, not a bad trade my friend. Tim

tropicaliste, i think my fave stall is at the corner of canal and mulberry but im not sure if thats the corner- it could be mott- she has the largest stand of any of the canal st stands. but i always check the other stalls as she is usually a little more expensive than the other stalls- i just walk up canal from center st to where the citibank is- about 300 yards and check the selection and price then i walk back down again and do the buying. maybe you saw the frozen bags out of season. season will begin in a couple of weeks and last thru most of august.

I have found it very difficult to do a self cross and sib takes for me are rare. I used to attempt both but don't waste my time on them anymore.

My results turned out like my dad said they would - 'a race of idiots.' Really, most of them produced grassy type foliage with flowers on spindly stalks.

I was pleasantly surprised with the growth and bloom on Ring Around Rosie. She has wide foliage and is a sensible grower.

Rick introduced quite a number from that cross so it turned out to be a good one for him.

I do mix up grandkids and cousins though.

Thinking back, weren't Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt cousins?
