It is a cucumber plant but it looks like it was growing cantaloupe, so we cut one open and it is a cucumber. The out side of it looks just like a cantaloupe. Please Help

The major types of cucumbers are the long, smooth green slicing varieties; the small, numerous pickling gherkins; and the round, yellowish, mild-flavored lemon cucumbers. Unusual types include elongated, slender Oriental varieties, and the English greenhouse cucumber. Properly grown, these latter varieties are the mildest-flavored of all. So-called Armenian varieties are actually long, green-ribbed melons with a cucumber look and taste.

From your description, my first thought was Lemon cucumber. Here is a pic for comparison.

If they are then you are growing Lemon cucumbers.
