I agree with extra water for cucumbers, no matter how they are planted. When they don't get enough water, they can develop a bitter flavor, especially at the blossom end. Have you ever sliced a cucumber and it had a hollow sort of little tunnel thing running through the center? It's from lack of water or inconsistent watering. They are very thirsty plants and mulch is a very good idea to keep the moisture in the soil.
