Hi everyone!! I live in fredericksburg, va, and I have a couple of questions about growing cantaloupes in this area. Is there a cantaloupe variety that has good production, disease resistant and does not take 90 days to harvest? What cantaloupe variety grows well in this region? Is it ok to plant cucumber and cantaloupe within 5 feet or so of each other? Any recommendations or advice on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Conor

I don't know what will fall into your requirements for the number of days to harvest there but I can tell you that you can grow cukes and cants together. If you are planning to save the seed from either veg, I would dmail someone that has a lot more experience than I do with cross-pollination or try viewing other forums that have posts in the spring and summer of previous years on the topic of seed saving. If you are planning on saving the seed from a hybrid veg, you can't do it and achieve good results though.
