I planted by seed this year and didn't do a good job of marking which
was which. What I thought were watermelon plants, clearly aren't. They
have leaves like cucumbers but seem to be in clusters, rather than
alternate. They also have stronger points on the leaves than cucumbers.

My hope is that I'm growing something other than just cukes! Not a
big deal as eventually I will know! It seems like there should be a
cucurbit taxonomy reference, but I can't find it.

Seems like you bit off a big one.

The book you want is
Cucurbits (Crop Production Science in Horticulture) (Paperback)
~ D Decker-Walters (Author), R W Robinson (Author)
http://www.amazon.com/Cucurbits-Crop...rticulture/dp/
0851991335

My library doesn't have it, and at $60, Amazon is out of stock.

http://delta-intkey.com/angio/ looks like it could be useful, but I'm
out of my league with it.
