Marketmore 76 Cucumber Seeds

Yes, Marketmore 76 cucumbers can be grown in containers, provided you use a large pot—at least 5 gallons—with adequate drainage. Because this variety is a vining plant, you will need to provide a trellis or support system for the vines to climb.

Marketmore 76 is known for being a prolific producer. Under optimal conditions with consistent watering and full sun, each healthy plant can typically yield 10 to 20 cucumbers throughout the growing season.

While you can start them indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost to get a head start, cucumbers generally prefer direct sowing. They have sensitive roots and often grow best when planted directly into warm garden soil once the danger of frost has passed.

These are heirloom seeds. This means you can save the seeds from your best-performing cucumbers at the end of the season and plant them the following year, and they will grow true to the parent plant.

Marketmore 76 is a mid-season variety, typically reaching maturity and ready for harvest about 65 to 70 days after planting. Regular harvesting will encourage the plant to continue producing fruit.
