Our hanging cucumber plants continue to grow and bloom, but have yet to produce anything edible. As with the tomato plants, I think it's just too hot for the blooms to set. I've also noticed that that hanging basket's soil dries out much faster than that of our other containers. Currently I'm having to water the cucumbers twice daily.

I love those cone shaped planters, but hanging pots do dry out faster. Veggies require more water & food than other ornamentals. I hope you get some fruit soon. :)
Cucumbers tend to take a while before they produce the actual cuke. I had tons of male flowers for weeks before I had a female one. And now the cucumbers are still producing!
And don't forget pollination. My friend melinda made a video about pollinating tomatoes and peppers, and the infamous Crunchy Chicken tells how to pollinate those squashes by having sex with pumpkins got your mind thinking, huh?
LOL I have not haad much luck with cucmber hanging baskets. I did have some luck with using a bush cucumber once, but I keep trying
