Seed Identification

Hi Greenies

I live in the UK and was given a mix of seed packets/  Most were in the original packets and therefore identifiable.  However, 3 packets only had the inner which contained the seeds.  They are labeled:-

MKTMORE 103018 K - Think these could be Market More Cucumbers?

LETTAYR 111612 D - starke ayres?

ALICANTE 107587 E - Alicante Tomatoes?  Have already planted these so no picture of the seeds.

I have no idea where they were bought or who the seed company is.  Anyone have any ideas or have I hit the nail on the head and answered my own question?

    Alicante = tomatoes

    Marketmore = cucumbers

    The middle pic looks like lettuce seeds to me.  AYR suggests 'All Year Round .

    You're in the UK and you've recently sown tomato seeds?   Not really the right time of year ... March/April is when you should be sowing them.

    Alicante is Tomato, no point in sowing those until next March In the UK.

    Marketmore cucumbers, sow in March.

    no idea what the others  are.

    I noticed some of you experienced gardeners gave this disardo clues to what his seeds might be. I too have a similar problem. I picked up these seeds and don't know what they might be could you possibly help?
