Any of the cucurbits (cantaloupe, honeydew melon, cucumber, squash, zucchini, watermelon) can be picked and eaten at anystage of developement. Eventually, however, a maximum size will be reached (which will not necessarily be the same for each fruit), and you will notice no further development either in size or color. At this point, you might as well pick the fruit since nothing else is going to happen with it.
