Originating in the United States, the Marketmore 76 cucumber is an heirloom variety renowned for its hardiness and ability to withstand cool temperatures. Prized for its vigorous growth habit and consistent fruiting, it has become a staple in the organic vegetable garden.

This cucumber is distinguished by its elongated, dark green, slightly ridged fruits, which are easy to harvest and retain their crispness. In the garden, it plays a valuable role by providing an abundant harvest even in temperate climates, bringing freshness and deliciousness to summer tables.

Its hardiness makes it an ideal choice for gardeners who want a reliable and generous crop while respecting the principles of biodiversity and the natural cycle of the garden.

  • Growing climate: Temperate to cool climate
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular

Note: Resists common diseases of the cucurbit family well, but prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location.

A symbol of vitality at the heart of the bountiful garden, the Marketmore 76 cucumber flourishes generously and invites conviviality throughout the summer. The crisp, juicy flesh of its fruits brings a thirst-quenching freshness to both colorful salads and homemade tzatziki, while also lending itself perfectly to crudité platters shared with family.

Harvested at full maturity, it can be kept for several days in a cool place. The abundant harvest lends itself to preserving, allowing you to extend the pleasures of summer: whether in the form of tasty pickled gherkins or lacto-fermented preserves, these preparations capture a bit of summer freshness.

Long appreciated for its sweet flavor and refreshing crunch, this cucumber is a delight in summer kitchens where it adds a touch of indulgence to family recipes and pleases young and old.
