Hello A while bgack some one wondered if they should seperate their zuchini and cucumbers and some one replied that there was no effect of growing the two together such as a crross polination that would change the flavor of the fruit -vegi so when I planted them I did not worry about the proximity to each other I had an extra xuck and I planted it next to my cucumber vines today I went to make some spagetti sauce and I cut some xuchinni and they are that because I picked it fresh off the plant and I put it in my sauce it had the texture and shape of a zuck but the seed shape and flavor of a cucumber with no bitterness at all a soft skin and a yummy taste but not the texture on the inside like a zuck has this happened to any one else? I know it sounds weird but it is a very weird thing I thought cross polination only affected seeds. I'm confused Michelle
