Our garden is pathetic. We are wannabes who never could garden well. Neighbors have always helped and advised. Now they are passed on and moved away and we are on our own. 'Maters got attacked by a caterpillar. (that's never happened before) Cucumbers came out like golf balls. (that's never happened before) We got zucchini and squash and hopefully the potatoes will do well. We tried enriching the soil but I think the sun is harsh, so we've tried to shade them. SO disappointing.

Related plants can cross. Plant the cucumbers further away from squash and melons.
Yes, unfortunately that happened to us one year. :(
