Growing facts

  • Botanical name: Cucumis sativus
  • Maturity or display: 60-70 days
  • Mature size: Fruits about 8-9 in. long; spreading or trellised vines
  • Spacing: 24 in between plants; rows 48 in

About the variety

Marketmore 80 is an open-pollinated slicing cucumber. Dark green, white-spined fruits and a blocky outline distinguish its harvest; the vines bear both male and female flowers.

Starting seed

Direct sow 1 in. deep after frost when soil reaches 65 F. Keep moist; sprouts in 5-10 days. Thin to 24 in. apart, rows 48 in. apart. Use full sun and rich, drained soil.

Care through the season

Provide a sturdy trellis or room for vines to spread. Water at soil level and keep moisture even through flowering and harvest. Remove insect covers when female flowers open so pollinating insects can reach them.

Harvest and use

Pick tender fruits often, before seeds harden. Expect harvest in 60-70 days. Keep cool; use promptly. For seed, isolate varieties and leave selected fruits fully overripe.

Saving seed

Cucumbers cross with other varieties of Cucumis sativus, but not with melons or squash. Isolate flowering varieties or control pollination. Leave selected fruits well beyond eating maturity, until fully yellow or brown and soft; extract, clean and thoroughly dry mature seeds.

Common problems

Check for cucumber beetles, aphids and mildew. Good airflow, crop rotation and watering at the roots reduce some problems. Poor pollination and uneven moisture can distort fruit. Remove overgrown fruit promptly to keep harvest quality high.
