Not sure but my location is probably a little warmer.
Checked out my cucumbers this morning and it looks like 2 fruits on the China Jade are going to make it thanks to a little hand pollinating. They get big fast.

Without having tried the fruit yet, I recommend Manny and Qwerty. These plants are relatively tiny and since I stopped pulling flowers, they have quite a few cucumbers growing. Here’s crazy Manny:

Picked one of the China Jade that was only about 8". It didn’t make it back to the house. I had forgotten just how good a cucumber can taste. I’m starting to get a few more female blooms and I plan to continue with the hand pollinating.

I accidentally hit the flag button here. Hope it doesn’t cause an issue.
First cucumber! Manny. I’ve never harvested a cucumber in May. Tastes like a standard mini cucumber, good. Qwerty is close. Happy with the new cuc plants

Your cucumbers looks like they are ahead of my plants however I have picked 2 undersized ones and they are very good. My Diva is starting to put on a couple. They are small compared to the China Jade.
Only Manny and Qwerty that fruit at every node might be ahead. Sashimi’s and party time aren’t even close to fruiting. Mini me up and died, which is odd.

First qwerty- LOVE this cucumber! It’s shorter and chunkier than the manny and much crisper. Also just loving cucumbers in May!! I don’t know if I should have kept pulling fruit until it was bigger…it and manny fruit at every node, so seems ridiculous to grow it taller. No idea
(I take the photo in front of where I picked it for my own reference trying to remember what I harvested when)
