Can gherkins and cucumbers crosspolinate?
I am reading bits online, that says cucumbers and gherkins are not the same, so my question is-can they cross or can I save my seeds?

Okey, just did some research and regular cucumbers will not cross with Mexican Sour gherkins or with West India Burr gherkins. I still have a question though - will these two gherkins cross with each other? I would think not, because they look totally different(their leaves and stems), but I would like to know for sure.
