I've started letting them get a little more mature before picking. They don't get much longer than 2 feet, but I let the neck thicken up to about an inch and a half in diameter and I let the skin go a little dull, though it's not leathery or thick yet. I think they have a more robust flavor at this stage but are still solidly in summer squash territory as far as texture and flavor profile go.
