Cucumber 'A & C Pickling'

A & C Pickling likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that A & C Pickling is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A & C Pickling requires a soil ph of 5.5 - 6.8 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing A & C Pickling about 14 days after your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as A & C Pickling is a tender plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in late spring.
