25+Cucumber Seeds Marketmore Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) Fesh Garden Seeds USA Marketmore 76 cucumber holds its good flavor and color even in the hot summer sun! A very productive and widely adapted slicing variety with excellent disease resistance! Uniform, straight, cylindrical fruit average 8-9″ and are slightly tapered toward the ends with no stippling. White spines. Resistant to CMV, DM, PM and Scab. 60-75 days to maturity. Average water needs. Water regularly, but don’t over water. Plant is attractive to bees, butterflies, and/or birds. Sowing The Marketmore cucumbers do not take well to transplanting, so either start them early in peat pots or plant them directly. Start them indoors about 2 weeks before frost, placing 3-4 Spacemaster cucumber seeds 1/2″ deep in the pot. Keep the air temperature at least 80 degrees F. When two or three leaves appear on each plant, cut off all but the strongest plant with a scissors. Before planting them, “harden” the seedlings by setting them outside during the day. They should be planted no sooner than a week after the last spring frost, when the air temperatures consistently average 65-75 degrees F. For planting them in a hill, place three seedlings or 7-8 seeds in each hill; space hills 4-5′ apart. If rows are preferrable, plant seedlings 1′ apart or place 5 seeds within 1′ and later thin them. Cucumbers love heat and cannot endure even a light frost; if cold temperatures threaten, cover the seedlings. For companion planting benefits, consider planting several radishes with cucumbers – this seems to repel damaging cucumber beetles. However, cucumbers do not like being planted near potatoes or aromatic herbs. Growing Marketmore cucumbers tend to be very disease resistant. Moisture is the key to growing excellent cucumbers; keep the soil consistently moist. When the vines have developed, apply mulch or straw to conserve moisture and control weeds. Watch out for cucumber beetles, and remove them immediately to prevent damage. Harvesting This slightly tapered, spined variety of cucumber works very well pickling, though excellent as well for fresh eating at a bigger size. If picked consistently all season,the yield will be very high. When the blossom end of the cucumber begins to turn yellow, this indicates that the cucumber has passed its prime. Cucumbers store very well in the refrigerator.
