Hi Dave and all,

It seems I can't access your web site, but thanks to you and others for
letting me know about the pollination.  I guess this means that if I want
zucchini, I'll have to plant both of them - which means I'll have to
refigure my garden layout.  Question - I'm a little confused, but would
another type of summer squash be able to cross-pollinate with the zukes, and
if so, is there another type that takes less room to grow?  Space is at a
premium, but I can squeeze something else in if I must.  Plenty of bees, so
no problem with that.

Thanks again,
