How to sow Marketmore cucumbers successfully under cover?
Sow cucumbers under cover in individual pots of light, well-drained seed compost, about 1–2 cm deep. Keep them warm, around 20–25 °C, and moist without waterlogging. Reusable pots are suitable; peat pots are not essential.
Time sowing for the intended growing site: earlier for a heated greenhouse, later for an unheated greenhouse or outdoors. Give seedlings good light. Before outdoor planting, gradually harden them off and wait for settled warmth as well as the end of frost risk.
