Mouse Melons

Never grown these before and have loads about an inch end to end.  Anyone know when they are ready for picking?

Ceres - I got this on the internet - don't know if it will be any good for you.......
The best mouse melons for salads are the tender ones less than 1 inch in length that have not developed many seeds. You can tell whether they are tender by simply squeezing them. If they are an inch long and feel hard, they should not be used — better to save them for pickling.

Thanks twinkletoes, hadn't found that one.  I was thinking of pickling them anyway, so better go and give them a squeeze!
