From what I understand, the crosses are mainly on the plants that are open pollinated. Doesn't affect the taste, but will affect any future plants that come up from the seeds if planted. As this is the first year of veggie gardening for me, I have no experiences with crosses. I'm sure they don't show up in the stores because people wouldn't buy them if they didn't look 'perfect'. To me, though, that's part of the fun in gardening and sometimes the only way to learn what not to plant near something else.

Here's my watermelon baby yesterday. I can't believe how much it grows in a day!! I need to make a hammock for it soon so it doesn't break the vine. That's on my agenda for today. I think I'm going to stop taking daily pics of it, too! Hope it doesn't feel bad about that. LOL
