Pollinate and bag those blooms if you are going to save the seed!

I've been pollinating them but I haven't bagged them so I guess there's no way to be sure about parentage of the fruits. I will have to watch for future blossom development, emasculate, pollinate and then bag.

No need to emasculate- just pop the bag over unopened blossoms, jiggle them for a few days when they open up inside the bag and watch for fruits to develop.
