Maybe i did something wrong but my tiggers were disappointing. Beautiful but uninspiring taste.

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.

Hi Paul.
Question.. Do you grow the Winter squash upward on a trellis? I was eying
both of these squash for the garden this year. Funny you should mention
them, which may confirm my guess. Also I'm Eying the "tigger" melon and
sugar baby melon for trellis growing.
We are going fully OP or heirloom and saving our seeds.. So I have a
question about the squashes. Will they cross with each other? One is C.
Moschata, and the other is C.pepo?
