Marketmore 76 Cucumber – The Gold Standard of Disease-Resistant Slicers for High-Yielding Gardens
Shop the highest quality Marketmore 76 Cucumber seeds for a crisp and dependable harvest. Developed at Cornell University, the Marketmore 76 is widely considered the most reliable slicing cucumber ever produced. It is the "Big Kahuna" for gardeners who want a beautiful, dark green cucumber that doesn't buckle under the pressure of common garden diseases like scab, mosaic virus, and mildew. At The Seed Guy, we recommend this variety because it consistently produces uniform, 8-to-9-inch fruits that look like they belong in a gourmet grocery store, but with the superior flavor only a home-grown heirloom can provide.
In the garden, Marketmore 76 is a vigorous producer that maintains its high quality even in fluctuating weather. The skin is thick enough to protect the fruit but tender enough to eat without peeling, and the flavor is remarkably mild with no bitterness. These vines love to climb, making them perfect for vertical gardening on a trellis to save space and keep your cucumbers clean and straight. Because it is a late-season performer, it will often keep producing long after other cucumber varieties have finished for the year. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination and heavy-yielding vigor, ensuring you get a bountiful supply of the best slicing cucumbers on the market.

Marketmore 76 Cucumber Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Cucumbers love the heat. Sow seeds directly into the garden only after the soil has reached at least 70°F and there is no longer any danger of frost.
2. Preparation: Choose a sunny location with rich, well-drained soil. Marketmore 76 is a heavy feeder, so work in plenty of compost or aged manure before planting to provide the nutrients needed for a long harvest.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. If planting in rows, space them 3 feet apart. If using hills, plant 3 seeds per hill and space hills 3 feet apart. Providing a trellis will result in straighter fruit and fewer disease issues.
4. Thinning and Care: Once seedlings have their first true leaves, thin to one plant every 12 inches. Cucumbers require deep, consistent watering; aim for at least 1 inch per week. Mulching around the base will keep the soil moist and prevent weeds from competing for nutrients.
5. Pests and Diseases: While this variety is highly disease-resistant, you should still watch for cucumber beetles. Using a light row cover until the plants begin to flower can help protect them. Always rotate your crops to prevent soil-borne pathogens from building up.
