Hi, I was wondering if I should separate my cucumber from my tomatoe plant because its vines are growin around some of the leaves. Will this kill my tomatoe plant? Should I move one of them or is it okay to let them grow side by side?

I think the cucumber vines will attack the tomato Plant. You might need to move the tomato.

I've had volunteer melons grow amongst tomatoes and they haven't hurt the tomatoes. Unless the melons received enough sunlight, they didn't produce many melons. I would think the same would be true of cucumbers.
