| I know there are lots of sources for this information, but I don't have time to research. My question is just this: Can I plant all these varieties right next to each other, save the seeds from the non-hybrids, and then grow all the non-hybrids from those seeds the following year? Sun sugar |

| Great FAQ. I'm going to have to bag a few this year since I've had cross-pollination in the past and it wasn't a fortuitous cross. Thanks. |
