Yes, you can plant cantaloupe by cucumbers.

They do NOT cross-pollinate as they are different species. Only species fof the same species or closely related species may cross. Non-species crosses are extremely rare and usually sterile.

Cukes and pickles cross with each other. Cukes do not cross with melons, canteloupe, honeydew, guords, squash or pumpkins.

Canteloupe and honeydew can cross.

Pollination doesn't affect the fruit of a plant because the genetics of fruit production is set in the plant which is grown from the seed of the previous year. Cross-pollination within species would affect the fruit of the seeds in the subsequent year. In other words, rogue pollination of your cukes by your neighbors nasty pickles would not affect you current year crop of cukes, but you wouldn't want to save and plant those seeds expecting the same variety as you will have a hybrid which may or may not even be similar in taste.

Yes you can. How else can we get cantaloupes if you don't grow them from a seed!

No, they do not cross-pollenate and it is a myth that the cucumbers will make the melons bitter.
