Spacemaster 80 Cucumber Seeds

Days to Maturity: 60

If you've had trouble growing cukes in your climate, or if you don't have the space to invest in a sprawling vine, Spacemaster 80 is the solution. This productive plant is only 36 inches long, yet bears a big harvest of slender, smooth 7- to 8-inch cukes. The fruit is crisp and tasty, with a satisfying bite just right in a slicer. Spacemaster 80 performs very well in a wide range of climates, and is resistant to cucumber mosaic virus, downy mildew, powdery mildew and scab.

Direct sow seeds in a sunny spot after all danger of frost is past, or start indoors and transplant when the first true leaf appears. Cucumbers can be allowed to grow on the ground, but for longer, straighter fruit and to save garden space, grow them in a cage or on a trellis, allowing 1 foot between plants. Keep them well-watered, and keep the fruits picked promptly.
