Sorry if I repeat something someone has already said, but I haven't read all the replies
Cross pollination can be caused up to half a mile away, so you have to be pretty isolated to avoid it
The only other way is to self pollinate by tickling each flower with a small paint brush

Surely just one page of replies doesn't take a lot of reading?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Not a good trait in a gardener.
