What kind of cucumbers are you growing?

I think it goes like this (I could be wrong, Still brain shocked

"Pickling" cucumbers should be picked small 1-4 inches long and often.
If they get larger and start to form seeds inside the cucumber, it will
send a signal and the plant will die and start its life cycle over again.

"Slicing" cucumbers can get larger for slicing and dicing without the
plant going into its premature life cycle.

I prefer the "Pickling" Cucumbers.
