Cumber flowering too early?

This is my first time growing cucumbers. I started them from seed, (http://www.highmowingseeds.com/organic-non-gmo-seeds-h-19-little-leaf-cucumber.html), and this morning the first flower bloomed. Is it too early? I'm concerned because the plant is not very tall (see pic). Should I remove the flowers? The plants are in raised beds, get good direct sun until about noon, dappled sun in the afternoon, and a bit more direct sun in the later afternoon. Could it be lack of sun that is causing the plant to flower early?

I have one of my cucumber varieties flowing already.

By cumber I mean, cucumber! @fotoman, are your cucumber vines larger than the one in my pic?
