Cucumber - Marketmore
I got these seeds from BBB Seed and various trades. A quick note here, I have seeds labeled "Marketmore" (no number), "Marketmore 76," and one labeled "Marketmore 80." While researching I was not able to find any difference between 76 and 80, in fact all of the information overlaps, and the seed companies that sell one do not offer the other. If they are different varieties, I do not know what sets them apart from one another.
Marketmore is a dark green (with white spines) multipurpose cucumber good for both slicing and pickling. Pick them at 6-8 inches for pickles, or up to 8-9 inches if you want a large slicer. These cucumbers are firm and hold up well to the pickling process. Developed by Dr. Munger of Cornell University, this variety is specifically good for colder season growers, but it also holds up well to higher heat areas. It does prefer partial shade. This variety is resistant to scab, cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), and powdery mildew. Some grower reviews suggested it does take longer to start producing (which would seem to contradict the "for colder seasons" part), but the only real complaints about this variety seem to be folks in very hot climates who either put them in full sun or didn't water them regularly. It is easy to grow, just give it a trellis and let it produce the high yields it's known for.
60-75 days to maturity
