So, I may have gotten a little carried away torturing the boys out in the cold. Three couldn’t take it and had to be removed, three survived, but they have stayed small because of how I’ve been treating them.
The girls are ready though, and now…so thankfully @G-paS came through w some reinforcement pollens from her goji run, which should add a nice assortment of genetic diversity to this run! Thanks G:) (btw, the pollens look great) You can read about them here if you’d like. My place for preservation seed runs 2022
So here we are at day 29, freshly dusted w G1, G6, G7, and G9 from g-pas. My three boys C2, C9, C11 are all dropping now as well.
And here is how the girls are doing…
C8: Is a beast, she towers over her sisters, very upright, at least 2.5X stretch, maybe a slight lemon scent
C4: smallest, hardly any stretch, slightly sweet aroma
C5: squat, wide, 2X stretch, (can’t get back close enough to smell yet)
C7: medium to slight build, almost 2X stretch (also can’t reach to smell)
And the whole gang
