several.

It also depends on the cultivar, I grow Baribal which is a small cumber and expect to harvest between 20 and 30 dependent on the year.

It doesn't matter which ones I grow, I'm lucky if I get 3 per plant.
I just don't get along with Cukes

Me either VC. My first year I had so many I filled my cupboards with cucumber relish, sadly that was my whack, lucky if I get three per plant these days.Comment

There are a lot of variables involved as the others have said. In a good year, off an F1 variety, you should get at lease 10 full-sized cucumbers, perhaps 20 off a 'mini' variety. I had a bad year with them last year, so I'm hedging my bets with 4 different varieties in 3 different locations, really hoping for a glut - I ♥ cucumbers

After tasting home grown cucumbers you'll never want to eat a shop bought one again.Location....East Midlands.Comment

I remember shoppingwith two year old twins. We had a kid each in the trolley. Father not as observant as needed to be. I turned around to see son sitting in trolley, holding an end of a cuc in each hand...just as he ate his way thru the middle. Hard to weight them like that!Ali

3 plants (I don't have much luck with germination of them so sow 5) have always supplied us (6 people) with enough to have salads or cucumber butties pretty much every day once they start producing until the first frosts.
They are in a unheated greenhouse, watered daily and feed once a week (once they get going). We pretty much just setup some canes/netting for them to climb up, put them in a trough at the back of the green house and leave be.
I agree homegrown cucumbers are in another world to anything you can buy. mmm I'm getting hungry at the thought of them.Comment

I grew them last year one plant 3 cucumbers one that rotted with the crap wet weather (grown outside) this year I have 4 plants and growing in a greenhouse I'm very surprised how much they grow in the warm weather in there
So here's hoping

Two plants (telegraph long, maybe?) have been enough for two of us and then some. As to number, getting on to 10 per plant over the season, I'd guess. And that was last year!Garden Grower

I grow an F1 Beth Alpha - the only F1 I will grow, but it's reliable, a good cropper of mini cukes and I easily end up with 20 per plant. I always plant three in the greenhouse as the chooks like them too.Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better...Albert Einstein
