Growing Spacemaster 80 Cucumber
‘Spacemaster 80’ is a compact open-pollinated cucumber prized for its space-saving growth, crisp texture, and dependable production. Short vines produce slender, dark green fruits with a mild, bitter-free flavor, making this variety an excellent choice for containers, small gardens, and trellised growing spaces.
Start ‘Spacemaster 80’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 12 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety is well suited to containers and smaller gardens and is also noted for good disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 60 days, begin picking the fruits once they reach a usable size while they are still firm, crisp, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.
Crisp, mild, and refreshing, ‘Spacemaster 80’ is excellent for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, and snacking.
