I just picked my first cucumber, a Delikatesse. These are supposed to be pale green and be 10" long according to Baker Creek where I got the seeds. I had thought you could pick cucumbers any time, as long as you didn't let them get fully ripe and bitter?
This one was 9" long, but the taste is very strong and a bit bitter. Not nice at all. That seems like it would be a sign of waiting too long to pick, but the seeds are barely apparent. Anyone have any info for a noob? :-(
