Can anyone tell me if I harvested these pickling cucumbers too early, too late, or right on time. I became nervous when I saw yellow and this is the first time I planted pickling cucumbers. Thank you for your help

It'd be great if I could see more of what size they are-- in this photo they look a little late to me, but you could always check by slicing one and trying it.

They are all about 7-8 inches. I thought it was too late but I didn’t want to harvest too early either. Thank you for your response.

I hope you let us know how it goes on your next round!

I'm not sure about pickling, but for eating as cukes that'd definitely be late

Thank you.

Too late, try to get them before they start to yellow
