Marketmore Cucumber Seeds – Papillon · Crisp & Productive

Marketmore Cucumber Seeds are the ultimate upgrade for your vegetable garden, delivering a harvest of dark green, straight, and incredibly crunchy fruits that redefine what a salad should taste like. If you are looking for a reliable variety that combines exceptional flavor with the robustness needed to thrive in various conditions, this is the seed packet you need in your hands right now.

Why settle for supermarket quality when you can grow the best?

We've all been there: you buy a cucumber at the store, and it's either soft, waxy, or has that unpleasant bitter aftertaste that ruins your entire meal. It is frustrating to spend money on fresh produce that feels anything but fresh, forcing you to peel away half the vegetable just to make it edible.

Continuing to rely on industrial agriculture means settling for vegetables harvested weeks ago, treated with who-knows-what, and bred for transport rather than flavor. You are missing out on the snap, the juice, and the intense freshness that only a fruit harvested minutes before eating can provide. Plus, the disappointment of a bitter cucumber in a summer salad is a mood killer you don't need.

The Marketmore Cucumber is the logical solution to this culinary problem. This variety is legendary among growers for a reason: it produces fruits with thin, non-bitter skin and a juicy, crisp interior with very few seeds. By growing your own, you ensure that every slice on your plate is packed with nutrients, flavor, and the satisfaction of self-sufficiency.

Why Marketmore improves your garden game

Compared to standard varieties or the generic seeds you might find at a hardware store, Marketmore is a beast when it comes to resilience. One of the biggest headaches in growing cucumbers is dealing with mildew and scab. This strain has been bred specifically to resist these common plagues, meaning your plants stay healthier for longer, and your harvest window extends significantly.

Furthermore, the consistency of the fruit is superior. We are talking about uniform, 15 to 20 cm long cucumbers that don't turn into yellow blimps if you look away for a day. Whether you are into Urban Gardening on a balcony or have a full plot of land, these seeds offer a stability and yield that makes the effort 100% worth it.

Key features you’ll notice from the very first grow

• Disease Resistance: High tolerance to powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus, which means less stress for you and more survival for your plants.
• Non-Bitter Taste: Genetically inclined to be sweet and crisp, so you can often eat them skin-on without that harsh bite.
• Perfect Size: Harvests at 15–20 cm, the ideal size for slicing, pickling, or just munching raw.
• High Yield: A single packet of 5gr contains enough potential to fill your fridge (and your neighbors') for the whole season.
• Visual Appeal: Produces dark, intense green fruits that look professional and appetizing.

Who is this product especially interesting for?

These seeds are a must-have for anyone who values flavor over convenience. They are specifically designed for:

• Health-conscious foodies who want organic, pesticide-free produce for their juices and detox waters.
• Beginner growers who need a forgiving plant that resists pests and diseases better than delicate exotic varieties.
• Urban farmers looking to maximize production in limited spaces; with proper trellising, these plants climb beautifully.

How to integrate it into your routine without overcomplicating things

Getting started with Marketmore is straightforward. You don't need a degree in botany. Ideally, start your seeds indoors if you want a head start, or plant them directly into the soil once temperatures stay consistently between 20°C and 25°C. They love the sun, so give them a bright spot.

To keep things smooth, ensure you leave about 60 cm between plants so they have room to breathe; this airflow also helps prevent fungus. If you spot any unwanted visitors, you can use organic Insecticides cannabis growers often use for general garden pests, as they are usually safe for vegetables too (always check the label). Water them regularly to keep the fruit juicy, and you will be harvesting in just 60 to 90 days. Check out our full range of Vegetable Garden Seeds to find companions for your cucumbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep should I plant the seeds?

While some sources might suggest deep planting, for cucumbers, it is best to plant the seed about 2 cm deep. This ensures the sprout can break the surface easily without rotting.

Can I grow Marketmore in pots?

Absolutely. You will need a pot of at least 10-15 liters per plant. Make sure to provide a trellis or stake for the vines to climb, which saves space and keeps the fruit clean.

When is the best time to harvest?

Harvest them when they reach about 15 to 20 cm in length. Don't let them get too huge, or they might lose some of their signature crunch and develop harder seeds.

Do I need to peel them?

Marketmore is known for having thinner, non-bitter skin compared to other varieties. Unless the skin has become very tough due to heat stress, you can usually eat them unpeeled after a good wash.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

"I used to think a cucumber was just a cucumber until I tried growing Marketmore. The difference in texture is night and day. The stuff you buy at the supermarket is often watery and bland, but these have a snap to them that is addictive. I grow them every year because they are incredibly low maintenance regarding pests—I rarely have to intervene. My favorite way to use them is slicing them thin for a gin and tonic or just eating them raw with a bit of salt and chili powder. If you have space for just one vegetable this summer, make it this one."
