Clarification on seed saving
 

So, I am reading in my seed to seed book that cucurbits will cross with any other plants in their SPECIES. So meaning, if I only grew one variety of cucumber, no other cucumbers were grown, that seed will be true?

I did grow muskmelons, and watermelons. As well as squash. So I just want to be super sure before I grab that big yellow cuke out there I'm not gonna get something super weird next year!

Thanks guys :)

I just looked this up a week or so ago. This link pretty much says it all [URL]http://homeguides.sfgate.com/growing-cucumbers-melons-together-28706.html[/URL]

Thanks Robert! Went and grabbed a few big yellow ones and gonna save some seed! 8-)

Not necessarily. The cucumbers won't cross with any other cucurbit in your garden. However, if you have neighbors nearby that are growing cukes, you might get a cross between yours & theirs. I've had crosses appear in seed from squashes grown in my rural garden, where the nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away... but no crosses (yet) in my cukes.
