I'm jealous! I have quite a few flowers but no berries yet.

Happy news Wingnut! Berries and more berries!
TZ-OH6 good luck on your crosses. I made few crosses, waiting now to see if the berries form. I am trying again next weekend, probably the last chance until the TPS develop flowers.

I had no idea how fast the berries would grow! Yesterday they were the sizeof a BB today they are bigger than a pea! I have them on 4 different varieties, won't know which ones till I dig them as chickens took out the tags!
