WHY GROW MARKETMORE 76?

Marketmore 76 is a classic slicing cucumber variety valued for its smooth appearance, traditional cucumber flavor, and productive vines. The dark green fruits are best harvested while firm and before they become oversized or begin turning yellow.

The plants may be allowed to spread across the garden or trained vertically on a sturdy trellis to save space and help keep the fruits cleaner and straighter.

HOW TO GROW

Cucumbers prefer warm soil and should be planted after the danger of frost has passed.

1. Choose a location receiving full sun.

2. Prepare fertile, loose, well-drained soil.

3. Sow seeds approximately 1/2 to 1 inch deep.

4. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination.

5. Provide adequate spacing for the vines or install a sturdy trellis.

6. Water regularly throughout the growing season.

7. Avoid allowing the soil to remain continuously waterlogged.

8. Harvest cucumbers frequently to encourage continued production.

Seeds may also be started indoors several weeks before the final expected frost. Transplant carefully after the soil has warmed because cucumber roots do not like excessive disturbance.

SOIL AND WATERING

Marketmore 76 performs best in fertile soil that retains moisture while still draining well. Keep plants consistently watered, especially during flowering and fruit development.

Water near the base of the plants whenever possible. Mulching around established plants can help maintain soil moisture, reduce weeds, and keep developing fruits away from direct contact with the soil.

HARVESTING

Harvest fruits when they are firm, dark green, and approximately 8–9 inches long. Check the vines frequently during warm weather because cucumbers can grow quickly.

Cut the cucumber from the vine at the stem instead of pulling it. Removing mature fruits regularly helps the plant direct energy toward continued production.
