Cucumber Marketmore is a reliable and prolific ridge cucumber, known for its open-pollinated nature and the ability to yield a bountiful harvest of dark green, cylindrical fruits starting from July. It is particularly well-suited for growing outdoors.
Cultivation Tip
Once you observe the emergence of tiny cucumbers on the plant, consider watering it with a tomato feed on a weekly basis. This results in larger fruit. When the cucumber plant develops 7 true leaves (excluding the initial 2 upon sprouting), trim off the growing tip. This encourages the production of more side shoots, ultimately leading to increased fruit production.
Characterized by a crisp outer skin and a sweet, juicy center, this outdoor cucumber exhibits early cropping and continues to produce over an extended period. It’s important to avoid planting this cucumber near other varieties, as cross-pollination may occur, resulting in a bitter taste in the fruit.
