I think I planted my cucumbers and squash too close together. The
cucumbers are yellowish and are shaped more like summer squash than
cucumbers.

1) Is this a common mistake?

Not very, but I've heard of it happening. It's as much a function of
the range of your pollinator friends and prevailing breezes as it is of
distance, I'd think.

2) Is the food edible?

Sure, but you get to experiment with how to cook it, or how to dress it
raw in a salad. Have some fun with it. I'd try a quick stirfry, I
think.

3) Once they've cross-bred, anything I can do.

Praise the Lord for this unexpectedly intelligent design. :-) -aem
