Similar Leaves

The one cantaloupe plant has taken over my raised bed and is squeezing out all the cucumber plants. The two plants are so similar - almost identical - that it is hard to tell them apart. So I studied the leaves and can now tell them apart.

The cantaloupe has a more rounded leaf, while the cucumber has a point at the top.
