Cucumber/Cantaloupe Identification

Question

I planted seed in peat pots to germinate. The cats destroyed my id markers. How do I tell the difference between Burpless Bush cucumber and Honey Rock cantaloupe juvenile plants?

Answer 1

Cucumber leaves are serrated on the edge, cantaloupe are smooth. (We use spray paint on the container at transplanting/seed sowing. This “tag” cannot be removed inadvertently. And yes, we keep a list of our color coding!)
