When do I grow Marketmore Cucumber?

Once started, the cucumber vine grows along quite rapidly, putting out hairy stems with large, attractive leaves.
The vines produce tendrils and can be trained to climb readily.
The male (pollen-bearing) flowers will appear on the plant first, but do not produce fruit.
A week or so later the female flowers appear and produce the oval, elongated cucumber.
Cucumbers self regulate how many fruits they can carry at one time.
In order to maximize production, harvest fruits as soon as they reach picking size.
Pick daily, because, under ideal conditions, cucumber fruits can double in size in just one day.
