Cucumber Marketmore

A robust well-known cucumber without a bitter taste, short and thick and certainly not watery. It is resistant to diseases, fungi and other inconveniences that you cannot use in your garden. Climbing is his favorite activity so let him cover your fence or poles. Do not step on the vines as this can produce bitter fruit.

Sowing

Sow from February to April and plant out mid-April to June. This species also likes water and sufficient fertilizers. Place it sheltered in a sunny spot and you will reap the benefits.

It used to be said that there are few nutrients in cucumber, nothing could be further from the truth. Cucumber is good for your skin, cleans your kidneys, helps with a hangover and even lowers the risk of chronic diseases!
