Hello my cucumber plant has been producing these yellow orangey cucumbers that are in the shape of a ball. The plant has only produced yellow cucumbers since the very beginning. I'm thinking this is some type of virus? But your diagnosis could help a lot thank you.

Are these cucumbers ever green? Even when they are only a couple of inches long? If so, they are a variety that should be picked very young--like a gherkin pickling cucumber.
Yellow cucumbers generally mean that a cucumber is "ripe" with seeds, i.e. past its prime for eating.
If it has never been green at any stage, we suspect that it was mislabeled. We do not suspect a disease There is such things as an orange cucumber. Look at images online.
