If its been dry where you are, water them daily. Its been in the upper 90's here so I've been watering mine twice a day. They soak up water like a watermelon. The fruit is yellow because of heat and driness, but if you still have blossoms you'll still have fruit. Water the dickens out of them, I mean lots and lots, if your leaves look kind of wilted, watch them perk up in about an hour. the go curly because there on the ground and the smallest thing can cause the young fruit to just grow around it. If you want them straight, plant a kind called straight eight and go them on a lattice work.

A cucumber is 95% water. As such, aside from some fiber, it has relatively little nutritional value (though it will help keep you from getting dehydrated!)
