I have three cucumber plants with large yellow flowers on them. How long do they take to produce cucumbers? My grandson came home from school with four of them, but one died. I do not know if they should lie down, or put canes in to stand them up.

Cucumbers are a vine that will crawl around on the ground. You can prop them, but often the weight of the cucumber will pull the plant down or the veg will drop off. It will take a couple weeks for the cucumber to form after the plant flowers.
I've grown cucumbers from seed and from seedlings. Sometimes just left on the ground, and I occasionally turn the runners back into a limited area. Sometimes I grow them at the base of my chain link fence. I interweave the vines up through the chain link. Both ways worked great.
