Cucumis, Cucumber 'Poinsett 76'
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
Poinsett 76 is dependable in any climate but performs exceptionally well in hot, humid areas. Vigorous plants bear 8-inch, smooth, thin-skinned, flavorful fruits that are perfect for slicing. Good disease resistance for longer harvest.
Cucumbers are a warm-season crop. Sow directly into the garden, 1-2 weeks after the danger of spring frost. Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Sow 5-6 seeds around a 12-inch diameter circle or hill. Thin to 4 plants per hill when seedlings have 3-5 leaves. If planting in rows, space rows 3 feet apart and thin to 1 plant every 12 inches. Keep moist. Harvest by cutting the stem with a clean, sharp knife or shears. Pick often to keep plants productive.
