Default Growing Cucumbers

Do you think I need to get another plant? This one is already about 5 feet
high.

I planted a Burpless Cumber plant on a treliss in early May. The plant is
growing like crazy and has now overgrown the treliss and is
expanding on the ground. Here's the problem. There are many blossums

and
cucumbers growing but they are very wierd. They are not smooth at all,

but
have deep ridges and sharp spines all over. Can anyone tell me what's
happening here? Thanks.


Just one plant? Perhaps the blossoms aren't getting fully pollinated.
That can lead to some pretty weird looking fruits.
