Not related to CP's or orchids, but hopefully someone in here knows the answer.
This year I really want to grow birdhouse gourds, cantaloupes, and sugar pumpkins, but only have enough room to grow the three extremely close together. I know the cantaloupes won't breed with the gourds, but what I can't find out is if pumpkins and gourds can inter-breed??
This normally wouldn't matter since hybrid fruits only show up the next year, but I intend on saving seed, which is why this is a problem.
