Saving cucumber seeds - need help

18 years ago

Hello all,

I did do a search and all of the results/links came back with a "Whoops!" telling me the files were not found on GardenWeb.

I will be growing a rare cucumber in 2009. I will want to save seeds. I do not have enough land to separate the plants by any yards/miles. Is there a way to save the cucumber seeds - without contaminating them with other variety of cucumber/squash/watermelon?? I have read various seed saving instructions having to do with bagging the flower before it opens and then using Q-tip or paint brush to pollinate - would this work with cucumber??

If this topic has been covered with other cucurbit family and someone can post a link - please post link. All of the links in the GW search I did were "Whoops" links.

Thanks for any and all help anyone can offer.

DL
