do growing curucbits together cause problems

[gixxerific]

I'm pretty sure there is a cross polination issue. But can't seem to find anything about it. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

I seem to remember hearing something on here about them cross pollinaitng. Does this mess up the actuall fruits or does it just mess up the seed?

I want to grow eggplant (curcubit?), cucumbers, pumpkins. The pumpkins will be on the other side of the yard. But the others will be on the same side.

If you are not saving seeds - no problems.

gix,

It's only a problem if you plan to save seed. I't only effects the seed.

Seed saving is done with open pollinated varieties, not hybrids.

Eggplant is a solanaceae -- same family as toms and peps but they won't cross.

When are you going to start planting in your FRONT yard? The house makes a handy separator against cross pollination
