Have you ever noticed a single red lettuce in a bed of green oakleaf, or a pepper that doesn't look like anything you planted? While some growers see these as mistakes to be culled, they are also opportunities to start a new breeding project.
This minisode is all about hidden treasures, specifically looking for crosses in your fields that could be the start of your next favorite variety.
In this episode, we'll get into…
• Why you should always carry flagging tape and a camera on your field walks
• Telling the difference between a handling mistake and a true cross-pollination event
• Techniques to get your special plants to seed
• How an unexpected cross turned into our own Carrot Bomb pepper
