You are correct. The cross wouldn't express itself until the next year.
BTW, 'Breed Your Own Vegetable Varieties' by Carol Deppe is a fascinating
book. See: http://tinyurl.com/8lbukm
There's some math in it that is over my head, but that part can just be
skipped without harm. The rest is really fascinating.
Amazingly, I saw a copy of this book (the older edition) on a 'remaindered'
table in a gift shop, of all places, for $1.00. :) I grabbed it.
