Cucumbers continue to be a vital part of traditional cuisine in Russia and many parts of Asia the greatest variety of colors and shapes of this vegetable can still be found in its Asian birthplace. Marketer cucumbers in particular were introduced to gardeners in 1943 by the Asgrow Seed Company, and won the AAS Gold Medal Award in that same year.Marketer Cucumber Germination: Cucumbers do not take well to transplanting, so either start them early in peat pots or plant them directly. Start them indoors about 2 weeks before frost, placing 3-4 seeds 1/2 deep in the pot. Keep the air temperature at least 80 degrees F. When two or three leaves appear on each plant, cut off all but the strongest plant with a scissors. Before planting them, harden the seedlings by setting them outside during the day. They should be planted no sooner than a week after the last spring frost, when the air temperatures consistently average 65-75 degrees F. For planting them in a hill, place three seedlings or 7-8 seeds in each hill space hills 4-5' apart. If rows are preferrable, plant seedlings 1' apart or place 5 seeds within 1' and later thin them. Cucumbers love heat and cannot endure even a light frost if cold temperatures threaten, cover the seedlings. Since cucumbers love to climb, providing a trellis will save space in your garden and produce straighter cucumbers that are easier to pick however, the vines will simply spread out over the ground if no trellis is provided.
