You should still have time to get a few cukes; most begin bearing in
50 days or so.

Zone 5 you should be able to plant cucumbers up until July 4. My mom
(Nebraska, zone 5) used to plant her fall cucumbers the first week of July
and always got some crop out of them before frost. Make sure the variety
you grow is a rapid maturing variety, as they will start maturing when the
weather is chilling in late summer/autumn and every additional growing day
you can give them helps...
