When do I grow Marketmore Cucumber?
- Once started, the cucumber vine grows along quite rapidly, putting out hairy stems with large, attractive leaves.
- The vines produce tendrils and can be trained to climb readily.
- The male (pollen-bearing) flowers will appear on the plant first, but do not produce fruit.
- A week or so later the female flowers appear and produce the oval, elongated cucumber.
- Cucumbers self regulate how many fruits they can carry at one time.
- In order to maximize production, harvest fruits as soon as they reach picking size.
- Pick daily, because, under ideal conditions, cucumber fruits can double in size in just one day.
