unless you have some other kind of similar plant close by during pollination you should only have to dry out the seeds and replant next yr,,.
progressive hunter, I'm losing my mind trying to find out more about my chances of saving seed from this thing and planting again next year. I can find NO information.
I bought three seedlings called "Italian Melon Cucumber" and I am stunned by these crazy cucumbers! I am beginning to understand the concept of open pollination vs hybrid and why one will not produce good fruit if planted from saved seed in successive years, but nobody is coughing up this info for this beauty.

I have heard some say a few dozen ft and other say 100 or more,,
you may still be ok if it were closer,, or might not even notice the difference,,
it can be a shot in the dark,, not like it costs any money though,, it still comes out as food,,
I would first create a menu or list of most eaten things and work from there,, the raised beds are a great way to contain and make it easy to work if your old or lazy,, look up some of the square foot gardening methods.
Thinking hard about how to get the most out of my property. I've got just a hair over a quarter of an acre and most of the fenced in back yard is raised boxes. I'm thinking of a pumpkin patch in the front yard. Loads of possibilities.
I sure do wish that more people in my small rural town would get into growing gardens. We're in the Midwest and I'm shocked at how few people grow gardens. I remember growing up here and EVERYONE had a garden.

We save seeds and hey worked out so far. But if more than a few years old they may not germinate..

Helps to have lots of local pollinating insects, especially domestic honeybees.
Better then therapy! And cheaper.I think gardening is good for the mind ,body and soul.

I agree, gardening is a beautiful thing unfortunately where I live is full of grass ticks or grass bugs invisible to the eye.....and I am totally allergic to them.....
I thought of spraying the grass but that could kill wildlife too....so... I have resigned myself
