Overview
Marketmore 80 is the Cornell University slicing cucumber that many American home gardeners reach for first, an improvement on Marketmore 76. The fruit is straight and cylindrical, deep green, about 8 to 9 inches, with thin skin, a small seed cavity, and a classic non-bitter cucumber flavor. What sets it apart is the disease package: resistance to scab, cucumber mosaic virus, and angular leaf spot, which was selected specifically for humid climates where these problems flatten lesser varieties. The vines are indeterminate and do their best climbing a fence or trellis, where air can move through the foliage and the fruit hangs straight. Sow directly after the last frost into fertile, well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral, in full sun. In hot regions, aim for spring and fall crops rather than pushing through midsummer heat.
