Cucumber Plant

I planted my first cucumber plant about 6 weeks ago. I have had many yellow blossoms, but so far only one cucumber, about 5 inches long now and it is curled. Should I have more mature cucumbers than just the one, in this amount of growth? Just learning the process.

You may have a pollination issue. Squash and cucumbers are pollinated in the same way, so these articles will help you:
