Ok, so I don't have to worry about the different vegetables crossing...no Ashley's Best cantaloupes or Hale's Slicing cucumbers, eh? Basically what I have to watch out for is growing non-self-pollinating plants of the same species but different varieties...more than one variety of watermelons, one of cucumbers, one of squash, one of carrots, etc.,.? Tomatoes and peas/beans appear to be self-pollinating so more than one variety is ok...? Is that kinda, sorta right? I just didn't want take a bite of watermelon that tasted like crooked neck squash. ;) I think the crossing of *varieties* is what I've been worried about...and the term "variety" had been eluding me. Thanks farmerdill for getting me on that track! (I tend to get derailed easily
)
I'm not sure if my closest neighbor has a garden or not. I kinda think not. But, if they do it's about 1/8th mile from me. The next closest would probably be 1/2 mile or further. Not far enough for "pure" seeds, but it sounds definitely far enough for "home garden" saved seeds.
