A great choice for a bumper harvest

Marketmore cucumbers were bred for their resistance to disease, making it easier for you to grow organically. The vines are very prolific growers and heavy bearers, and they keep on producing until the winter arrives. The flavour is as good as you could hope for, and your 15-20cm long cucumber will taste just as good as they look.

How to Sow

Start your seeds in spring. Direct sowing is the best solution, but if you want to get an early start, you can sow them in pots and plant them out after the last frost. Plant your seeds no more than 10mm deep, and keep the soil moist. Water deeply, and then let just the surface of the soil dry between waterings to keep them moist but not soggy.

How to Harvest

Harvest your cucumbers in the mornings when they are at their firmest and juiciest. Cut them from the vine to prevent breakage. Don’t let the seeds mature, even if you have more cucumbers than you need, as that tells the plant it can stop producing. Marketmore is usually just right at 15-20cm long.
