Moving along
Plants are perking up, I can finally keep the temps around 60 at night, daytime getting closer to 80. We are 58 days from seed sprout now, should see lots of stuff happening soon.
I have a couple of good surprises. (Cowlick's BW X Bloody Butcher F2) X (Bloody Butcher X Dester F1) F2 is super early, beat M-S E by a bit. The fruit that these seeds came from was excellent, so if that sticks, this is going to be an interesting line to work. I am also very impressed with BB X Delicious F2's nice shaped fruit, it seems it may have some size too, and it is also very early.
We now have many fruit set, the stuff done up here certainly tolerates the cold better than the original parents, but they are bouncing back nicely. I like looking down the rows of Chapman and Delicious,and dreaming, that should be quite the show.
