The unfertilized fruit part of the female flower buds is already over around 7 inches long even before it blooms! If you've grown this before, at what size do you harvest it?

I've grown it for summers squash use, the only reason I don't anymore is the production was much too small.
I would harvest anywhere 1-2' long. If the bulb has too many seeds just scoop them out, the long neck is seed free. It was a tasty summer squash, but again it didn't produce very much, even with manual pollination.
