Hi, Yvonne --
My Georgia garden has been suffering from the rain as well. Nature is a Mother.
My understanding is that if cross-pollination does occur, you will not
see the evidence in fruits on plants from the current generation.
However, if you save the seeds, the changes will be seen in the next
generation.
Good luck.
