hybrid What crosses have you started this year?

I'm pretty new to crossing. I tried a couple times last year and destroyed the pistil each time. On a whim the other day, I grabbed a flower from my lemondrop plant, opened up and removed the stamens from a "Fooled You" Jalapeño flower, and did some pollination and marked the bud. A couple days later I realized a pod was forming and it's gotten bigger so I'm thinking it's going to stick.

Of course, many of you take crossing more seriously and have a method to the madness. I'm just in it for fun/experimentation.

Whether you fall in one camp or the other or even in between, what crosses are you starting this year?
 
Last year I tried but failed to cross Zapotec Jalapeño with Malih-Helow. The aim would be a chilli with the intensity of flavour of Malih-Helow with thicker flesh of a Jalapeño.

I only tried with one flower and the label fell off the bud so Ill try again next season more carefully.

A have acquired a variegated bell pepper that I will attempt to cross with my Peach AK BOC just for fun.
 
i´m leaving that up to the bees & butterflies...i don´t isolate anything.   I also don´t save seeds unless it´s something I cannot order, or that i´m just not planning to order.

Those are interesting! I'd be curious to see how they turn out, especially the first one.
