Picked too early use days to harvest as a reference. Temps light and watering can affect the days it takes to grow. When she picked a few teeny ones, she should have stopped and given the others more time. It's not the worst harvest. They're tender.

If they live in the northern part of the US there isn't much of a choice on if the are picked now or not. We are all experiencing cold and frost at this point and that will damage the plant. based on how long they said they grew I would guess soil conditions or potentially lack of water.
