Plant identification required!

Due to some labelling issues (rookie error) I’ve managed to mix up the plants I’ve grown from seed! I’ve got sunflowers, watermelons (either or both photo D or E) Malaga melon and cucumbers (either or both A or F). Can anyone help with the identification (ignore any current labels you can see please!) 

thanks :)

    My cucumbers look like A and my sunflowers look like E, if that helps 🤣

    And mine. D and E both look more like sunflowers than melons.

    A cucumber and maybe F a melon

    Cukes and melons can be similar in the very early stages -  but A looks like a cuke and F the melon - given a decent summer, you'll soon find out tho ;)

    D and E are sunflowers, I would say that A is a cucumber and F a melon, I don't see any watermelon at all. Watermelon has a different leaf shape to other melons/cucumbers/squash so it is easy to recognise.
