You need Seed To Seed, Susan Ashworth. It details all that thoroughly. Some
don't cross but those that do need a mile between them. I have enough seeds
it's not practical to save seed (except our own strain of tomato). This
season I'll try the Delicata and Sweet Dumpling on the fence, but butternut
is a bit heavy with longer vines. I'm thinking of adding that small Tigger
melon for its fragrance. but any watermelon is dirt cheap at the stores and
takes up way too much room the way I grow.
