I live in Boyne City Michigan, which is in the northern part of the lower peninsula.

Now to my knowledge, there's an unwritten rule-of-thumb with vegetable gardening that two different varieties of the same crop shouldn't be planted close together, or you'll get some weird cross-hybrid as a result. To my knowledge what applies with this is any kind of squash and melons (watermelon and cantaloupe).

Now I saw some seeds that were 40% off at a local Kmart so I decided to buy the vegetable varieties that were available that I plan to grow from seed. I found two different varieties of cucumber; one is a bush champion which just produces your run-of-the-mill slicing cucumber that you use in salads. The other is called picklebush; these cucumbers are "mini" varieties of a regular cucumber and are 4"-5" long. They're also good for making into pickles as the name implies.

Now I plan to use earthboxes for most of the crops I'm growing. Earthboxes are a self-watering form of container gardening. According to the earthbox you can grow

4 cucumber plants in one. I'd like to do two bush champion cucumber plants and two pickle bush plants, both in the same container. Now will it be feasible to grow both of these varieties in the same container, or will I get some weird cross-hybrid if I do? I know some people like to experiment with this, but I'm not one of them; when I plant the bush champion cucumber and the pickle bush I'd like both varieties of cucumbers.
