Yes it will
yes move the cucumber vines and train them the other way, like putting a piece of old fence in the ground and wrapping the vines around that. this way you can save both plants.
Yes it will. If you have the space just remember to space the tomato plants a ways from cucumber, squash, peas, or green beans. All of these grow from a vine.
Good eating!
I've never had that problem. I've got cucumbers growing around my tomatos right now, and I'm getting a bumper crop from both plants.
Probably, but its better to just avoid the situation period. It will continue to grow along and up the plant for support. It probably will pull the plant down once cucumbers start developing. I'd recommend just manually putting the vines back on the ground(you will have to do this often) and the plants should both be fine. You could also provide something for it to grow along such as a fence(chainlink works well, makes picking easy).
They say plant seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep and thin the seedlings to one plant every 12 inches in the row or to three plants every 36 inches in the hill system. If you use transplants, plant them carefully in warm soil 12 inches apart in the row.
So if you keep them that far apart and give them a trellis they shouldn't get near the tomato plants. But as long as you watch it each day there shouldn't be a problem.
yes it will you wanna move it soon .
