Cucumber [Marketmore] (40+ Seeds)

Description

Contains 40+ seeds.

Cucumbers have been widely grown in Florida for many years. They thrive for most of the year, except for our peak Summer temperatures or our coldest Winter temperatures. 

Marketmore is a great pickling and slicing Cucumber.

Sow seeds no deeper than a 1/4″.

Make sure that the soil has plenty of organic material in it (compost, castings, gardening soil, etc.). Enrich the soil with a naturally occurring calcium like eggshells or even the shells of crustaceans. Our finely ground egg shell powder can help to accomplish this as well. Calcium can help to naturally protect against end rot or powdery mildew.

Container Gardening: Cucumbers can be grown most of the year in Florida, in a container! If grown in a container, make sure that it is well watered, and there is room for its vine to climb.
