These photographs show the contrast, inside and out, between an over-mature Poona Khira cucumber and one that is "just right". The over-mature ones do not get huge (at least in my yard); they just turn yellow and hard, with an exterior texture a bit like a cantaloupe.
The seeds
start to mature inside, and the interior of the cucumber becomes a bit gelatinous, or "peffy", as we say
about over-mature cucumbers and squashes. They are best picked small.
