Growing Cucumber

14 Dec 13 miss joy (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
I have planted two to three punnets of Crystal cucumbers into garden bed. all good until vines seemed to multiply??? Perhaps stray pumpkin vines have self sown as well. Hard to tell which is which and I would like to thin out some of the vines to allow tomatoes' a fair go. any hints on how to tell the difference between crystal cucumbers and pumpkins??? some vines are long and rangy with twisted creeper/feelers.
