Ferry-Morse 1277 Cucumber Seeds, Marketmore 76 (3 Gram Packet)
One of our best slicing cucumbers! Produces heavy, early crops of long cucumbers that can be pickled for dills when fruits are young. Developed by Cornell University to be resistant to Downey Mildew disease. Plant cucumber seed only after all danger of frost is past and ground is warm. They need lots of sunshine and water. Keep weeds to a minimum with straw or leaf mulch. In full sun, sow 5 seeds over a hill 12 inches tall and 2 feet across with well-drained soil. For smaller gardens, plant alongside fence or trellis. When plants are 2 inches tall, thin to 3 plants per hill. Plant at 3-week intervals up to midsummer for fresh cucumbers all season. Keep fruits picked.
