How to tell if your cucumbers are ripe:
Many fruits and vegetables are green before they are fully ripe. Normally, we patiently wait for the fruit to turn red or orange or the proper color before we pick it. Not so with many vegetables such as string beans, bell peppers and cucumbers. All of these are picked green and prepared to be eaten. If a cucumber is left too long on the vine it loses its green color, ripens and becomes yellow. If it remains a bit longer on the vine, it just drops off. So your cucumber is not diseased, it is ripe (mature).
Do not confuse this condition with the cucumber which turns yellow and drops off when it is only 2 inches long because it did not get pollinated.
