The exact size depends on the use and variety. Pickling fruits may be two to six inches long. Slicing cucumbers are best at six inches and the âburplessâ varieties are best harvested at 1 to 1 Â½ inches in diameter. During the peak of the season, you will be harvesting ripe cucumbers every day or two.
Cut the cucumbers lengthwise to expose their seed. Scoop out the cucumber seed with a spoon and deposit the seed into a jar of water. Leave them in the water for four to five days. This will allow the seeds to ferment and loosen the gel that encases the seeds.
