I've got a question for some of you garden gurus. I've planted my crook neck squash and cucumbers fairly close to one another. I noticed that the cucumbers look a lot like a crook neck squash. Have they cross pollinated?

I guess my question is can squash and cucumbers cross pollinate? :?

I don't think a cucumber and squash will cross, however a cross won't show up until the next generation. (If you saved the seed and planted next year.)

Thanks RL. :D Maybe they got to much water like MemphisStockBroker said. They sure look a lot like a squash. :lol: Except for having a green color they have a slender crook on one end and are bigger on the other. :shock:
