This allows us to notice whether a variety grows looking like a clone (selfing), or whether every sibling looks unique (self-incompatible). We intend to save seeds this year only from the lines showing high diversity between siblings.
Joseph, I wanted to check in with a germination update for my five families. I have an infestation of tiny white bugs which might be making germination worse than usual, but the image below is what I have.
Is poor germination part of what you're looking to see or should I attempt to late-start seeds (I have a lot left after planting eight of each packet) for those that have been lost, to be more sure of getting six into the field?
