Hi Tracey,

You must keep harvesting the cucumbers and as Ace said don't worry about the size. If you stop harvesting or leave the cucumbers on the plant too long then the plant will stop producing fruits. If it is an outdoor cucumber variety then peel it before eating as the peel can be bitter tasting.
