If I want to make the vine healthier, grow more cukes,
is there something suggested in order to do this?

Dark Green. O fcourse if you want large leaves on a vining

take up a lot of space.

Poinsett will be visually indistinguisable from Marketmore 76.
You may notice a difference in yields.

The soil in this part of Georgia is also sand and benefits greatly

keep you soil pH up.
