Planting & Growing
A & C Pickling Cucumber will grow to be about 18-24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3-4 feet. When planted in rows, space individual plants about 12 inches apart. This vegetable plant is an annual, meaning it will grow for one season and then die after producing a crop.
This cucumber variety thrives in full sunlight and prefers evenly moist, well-drained soil. It grows best in rich, fertile soils and can tolerate a wide range of soil pH levels. Avoid planting in areas with heavy urban pollution or near high-traffic zones to ensure healthy growth.
