Notes
'Marketer' cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Marketer') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The vines climb and grow at a rapid rate, so give them a trellis. Bees visit the flowers, which bloom from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Nasturtium, Dill, African marigold, and Radish organic.
