Beginner crosses

As this is my first year really hybridising, my plan has been to make crosses that I think other people aren't making, and to use plants that I think other people aren't using. From this, I hope that I can get things that are different to most other hybridisers and I can then work from there. I think that my first few years of hybridising are actually going to follow this plan. Only after I've gained experience at 'what produces what' will I then start work on refining traits in the seedlings that I like. As it will take me 2-3 years to see the results of this year's crosses, that doesn't seem like a bad plan.

I've got lots of pods ripening at the moment. When I harvest them, I'll post a list of the successful crosses.
