Cucumbers taste best when picked and eaten when young and tender. That is how we also use string bean, okra , broccoli,. That goes forArmenian cucumber too. To me, if the sleeds start getting hard or skin starts,yellowing, it goes in the compost .
About taste , a tender Boston pickler is one of the best tasting , to me.
I let one or two grow ripe, to save seeds from.
