Marketmore 76 is the cucumber that home gardeners have trusted for generations—a reliable, disease-resistant heirloom producing dark green, crisp fruits with mild, refreshing flavor all summer long. Bred at Cornell University for outstanding field performance and strong disease resistance, it thrives where other varieties struggle. Equally excellent sliced fresh in salads or preserved as pickles for the pantry, this cucumber delivers abundantly season after season.
Growing Instructions: Direct sow after last frost when soil has warmed to 70°F, or start indoors 3–4 weeks earlier. Train plants up a trellis for better air circulation, less disease pressure, and easier harvesting. Pick fruits frequently at 6–8 inches to keep plants producing prolifically through summer.
