Cucumber and loofah cross-pollination help
Ok, I know that if I were to plant my cucumber and loofah too close together they will cross-pollinate. But, will the vegetables be ok for this year and just their seeds be messed up? Or will I get lufumber (haha, or would it be cucaloofa?) this year? I'm totally willing to buy new seed next year, and would like to not have to drag the garden hose every day to a separate garden. (I already have 4 areas that needs to be watered daily.)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Pollination is part of the production of the "Next Generation" (Star trek reference noted) it should not affect the fruits (or produce) made by the initial plants. The cross pollinated plants would produce the hybrid offspring you are concerned about, but from your standard seeds would be find.

Yeah, I'm really liking the cucaloofa thing. Or at least saying the word over and over. Betcha it would be nasty in the tub though. Squishy!
You just get the cucaloofas and let the marketing people worry about the rest.
