Semi-bush type plants produce a large number of medium green, 12.5-15 cm (5-6″) fruit with small white spines and a crisp core. This is an excellent dill pickling variety that can also be harvested at 4 cm (1.5″) long for baby sweets. Pick regularly to maintain harvest – it is best to cut the cucumbers from the vine rather than twisting or pulling them off. Good disease resistance. An excellent choice for smaller gardens. -

A favorite slicer for the home garden. These long, slender, dark green cucumbers have been the standard for slicing cucumbers. Resistant to scab, cucumber mosaic virus, and mildews. Marketmore 76 cucumber seeds yield a smooth, refined, dark-green slicer with a crisp crunch and sweet flavour (makes great pickles). This is an early maturing cucumber that grows to 20-23cm long with slightly shorter vines than other varieties so you can space them more densely and get a higher yield in a small garden. Marketmore 76 is very productive in the greenhouse as well as in raised beds. The small seed cavity can be quickly removed by running a spoon down the length of each side. -

The petite 10 cm oval fruit is a bright, creamy white, about the size of a small apple, and is sweet, mild, and very tender. This variety has become almost extinct in America after being introduced here from Australia around 1930s. The small fruit is so tender you can eat it skin and all. The plants are very prolific, producing a generous number of tasty little cucumbers. Maintain regular moisture throughout the growing season and keep vines picked to encourage new fruit formation. Crystal Apple will perform well in containers or raised beds. To grow in containers choose a three to five-gallon container or larger, with good drainage
