There’s been some hanky-panky cross-pollination going on behind my back.....

In our school garden years ago, we had ‘watermelons’ - or so they appeared - that passed all the ‘ripe tests’ but were white and bland inside ... kinda like cukes! A good ‘teachable moment’ for learning about cross pollination among different species! ?

They may have frollicked in your peppers before they found the cukes! You might have hot pickles!! I have cantelope right next to my habeneros. I'm living dangerous ?

@MissKathleen I have bell peppers next to one of my three cuke trellises. Maybe I'm safe!? We'll find out.

Interesting! You never know what funny business will go on between the rows.
Best squash I ever grew, complete accident. I got some free squash from someone, there were delicata squash, which were quite tasty. However, there was one I didn't use soon enough and it spoiled. I set it out on the porch, thinking I'd take to trash later. Instead it got knocked into the garden area and broken. I eventually picked up the remains and tossed.

Of course spring came and I had a couple vines (how it was ONLY a couple, I don't know) that came up volunteer. Didn't cross my mind what they were, a previous year I had volunteer watermelon, the ONLY watermelon that did any good. Anyway, left them to grow until I could be sure what they were. They grew then produced squash which looked pretty much like the delicata, perhaps a bit thick but the striped white/green skin. However, when I cooked the first one, I found instead of the smooth, tasty flesh of the delicata squash, It was the less flavorful, stringy flesh of the spaghetti squash. I was a bit disappointed but I used all of the hybrid with no regret.
