Botanical Interests Poinsett 76 Cucumber Seeds

    You can depend on 'Poinsett 76' for a bountiful harvest of dark green, straight cucumbers produced on plants that resist many common diseases, including mildews, anthracnose, scab, and angular leaf spot. Cucumbers average 7"–8" long and 2 ½" in diameter and are produced over a long harvest period. Enjoy fresh slices in salads or with your favorite dip.

      Sowing Information:

        • Light: Full sun
        • When to Start Inside: 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots.
        • When to Sow Outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when the soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°–90°F.
        • Seed Depth: ½"
        • Seed Spacing: A group of 2 seeds every 12"
        • Row Spacing: 36"
        • Thinning: When 3 leaves, thin to 1 plant every 12"
        • Days to Germinate: 5–10 days
        • Days to Maturity: 65 days

        Growing Notes:

                          • Harvesting: Pick, and pick some more! Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow the production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile. To increase the quality and storage time, once picked, immediately immerse in cold water to disperse "field heat".

                          "They have so much fun stuff to look at even if you're not buying plants! They also have a cool deal where, if you buy the container and the plant, they'll plant it for you. There's clothes, kitchen stuff, kids stuff, books, nick snacks, etc. My mom and I go in just to hang out and look at stuff sometimes, but last time, I got this plant. It went from beautiful to MAMMOTH and beautiful. We named her Victoria."
