watermelons and cucumbers

Question
Can watermelons and cucumbers be planted close together?
Thanks

Answer
Gerald-
As long as you are not planning on saving seed from either, there is no reason watermelons and cucumbers cannot be planted near each other. do remember that both are vining crops, and watermelon have large leaves, so allow enough room for both to sprawl.
