Think I got my first cross. Tried 9 different flowers 5 have set now. Sungold X Cherokee purple. During emasculation some of the floweres had the extreme base of the anther left, should this be a problem(with contamination by self pollination)? I didn't cover them after emasculation, but drenched them in CP pollen for three days in a row(patrinas method). Should I keep seed seperate from the 5 different fruits,or is this point insignificant. BTW vegomatic, did your cherokee P X sungold take? Hopefully this cross will lead to some interesting new OP varieties in the next years. Cheers all.
