Hi, can this melon be grown in the same greenhouse as cucumbers (Passandra F1), or will they cross pollinate?
Melon 'Charentais'
I’ve read that melons and cucumbers can cross pollinate, which impairs the flavour and can sometimes render them inedible. I wasn’t sure whether the fact that Passandra is an F1 / female-only version prevents this? Thanks

You are 100% right. As it is a female plant they won't cross pollinate so nothing to worry about. Good question all the same
