I am done with my planting and with a program I do to inspire children to grow and eat fresh fruits and vegies. Some of these seeds were given to me by other GWeb's and a couple are my own. Watermelon; 'Sugar Baby' 'Kleckley Sweet' Banana melon Taiwan black seeded long bean Chinese red noodle bean Tomatoes; 'Green Zebra' 'Marmand' 'San Marzano' There are anywhere from 4 to a dozen seeds. If you are interested email me.

I think 50 feet between varieties will give you an almost 100% probability of producing seeds that are true to type. I believe I have read that for commercial seed production the separation distance is even greater. However, for a hobby gardener with a small area available, you will probably produce seeds that are true to type even though the plants are quite close. In my small garden the plants are spaced about 2 feet apart, and the saved seeds are usually true. That said, I did have problems with a couple of varieties in 2012. Last year they did not grow true, and I've gone back to seeds from 2010, which should be fine. Some growers sleeve flowers in fine mesh bags to prevent cross-pollination by insects. Although there is a possibility of wind-borne cross-pollination, it's probably unlikely. What you choose to do will depend on how imperative it is that you get seeds that are true.

Trudi is great and very helpful. She's the one who runs WS. I sent her a bunch of seeds this year and the $5.00 donation. She is very generous and sends nice bonus seeds. She gets her seeds from many generous donors, so you may occasionally have a cross.
