Save some space in the garden by growing the Spacemaster Cucumber, from freshly harvested Cucumis sativus seeds. Spacemaster is a heirloom variety that produces compact vines, growing from 18 to 24 inches long. Their shorter growth habit makes them a popular pick for large pots or containers and hanging baskets. Spacemaster is a great variety for those who have little to no gardening space, since the plants can be established on balconies, decks and porches. A perfect selection for those of you living in apartments! The fruits of Spacemaster have a dark green outer skin. When sliced open, their lighter green flesh is tasty and refreshing. The oblong fruits can be picked early for pickling, or allowed to grow to their maximum length of 7 or 8 inches long. When picked at maturity, you can slice them up and enjoy them raw, or add them to salads as well. This variety does well in the heat of summer and is resistant to cucumber mosaic virus.
- Compact Growth: The Spacemaster 80 cucumber is known for its bush habit, making it an excellent choice for gardeners with limited space or for container gardening. This variety doesn't require sprawling space, making it perfect for small gardens or balconies.
- High Yield: Despite its compact size, the Spacemaster 80 is prolific. It produces a significant yield of cucumbers, which are typically 6 to 8 inches long, making it an efficient plant for those looking to maximize harvest in small areas.
- Disease Resistance: This variety has been noted for having some resistance to common cucumber diseases, which can make growing easier for gardeners dealing with typical garden pests and diseases like powdery mildew.
