Oooo errrr... great article, Raymondo -- thanks for that! Particularly as I'm planning to plant Turnips for seed and I have a neighbouring farmer who regularly grows rapeseed -- must give him a call and ask what fields he's planning to plant this year; most of his fields are far enough away that there should be no problem, but a couple are right across the road!

...if there is anything closely related hiding nearby you will find yourself nurturing the little half-breeds and wondering were on earth their traits came from... bees, esp. the bumble bees are great for dragging in pollen from a long ways off, and from less related species. honeybees tend to stick more to a given specie, then clean themself before shifting to something else. ...at least that has been what I have seen/noted.
