Cucumber 'Marketmore 76' (Cucumis sativus). In the vegetable garden, Cucumis sativus quickly develops long stems and dense foliage, offering a generous presence that promises regular harvests throughout the growing season. Its dark green, smooth, and well-proportioned fruits appeal with their regular shape as much as their crisp flesh and mild, non-bitter flavor. Very pleasant to harvest and consume fresh, this cucumber is ideal for salads, snacks, marinades, or the simplest summer plates. It thrives in rich, well-drained soils, warmth, and sunny locations where its growth remains strong and healthy.
Recommended sowing period: May to June. The depth to respect is 2 to 2.5 cm (0.8 to 1 in). Emergence generally takes 5 to 10 days. For germination, maintain the potting soil at 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F). Sow cucumbers in individual containers if starting indoors. Their roots establish better when the root ball remains intact during transplanting. Do not let young plants age too long in a small pot. Plant them outdoors in warm soil, then protect them from wind during establishment.
A trellis makes cucumbers easier to spot and limits their contact with the ground. Install it securely before stem growth, then guide the first tendrils. On the ground, direct the vines to a clear area and keep a path for harvesting. Avoid letting shoots cross a passage where they would be trampled or moved with each intervention. In the vegetable garden, Cucumis sativus quickly develops its long stems and dense foliage, offering a generous presence that promises regular harvests throughout the beautiful season.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: May to June. The depth to respect is 2 to 2.5 cm (0.8 to 1 in). Germination usually takes 5 to 10 days. For germination, keep the potting soil at 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F). Sow cucumbers in individual containers if starting indoors. Their roots re-establish better when the root ball remains intact during transplanting. Do not let young plants grow too long in a small pot. Plant them outdoors in warmed soil, then protect their re-establishment from the wind. For direct sowing, identify the locations to be able to weed without disturbing the young roots. Cucumbers grow quickly once the heat sets in. Check for fruits hidden under the leaves so as not to let a forgotten specimen grow too large. Regular harvesting allows for tender skin and undeveloped seeds. Cut the stems instead of pulling on the vines. Water at the base and keep the leaves sufficiently spaced so that they dry after rain. Leafy vegetables require harvesting adjusted to the type of plant. Outer harvesting preserves the heart when you wish to continue production.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Well-drained and rich
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe the foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep soil moist during germination, without standing water; then adjust according to the crop

Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
A sturdy, perforated container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for its roots

Attach it before planting and make sure it can withstand the wind resistance of the foliage. Allow a water reserve accessible to the roots without retaining stagnant water. Fruits are easier to pick when the stems are guided outwards from the support and the foliage does not form a compact mass.
