A & C Pickling (Andrews & Cowan, 1920s) throws out short, blocky cucumbers with firm flesh and the right bumpiness to grab brine—classic dill spear material. Harvest at 2–4" for jars or let a few size up for fresh crunch. Vines are vigorous; trellis for straighter fruit and easier picking. Cucumbers hydrate and bring trace minerals. Succession sow for steady crocks, and pick daily to keep vines in gear. If you want that old‑school pickle snap, this heirloom delivers.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden in the spring after the danger of frost has passed, roughly 1-2 weeks after the average last frost date and when daytime temps are near 70°f. Sow 5-6 seeds per hill and thin to 2-3 plants. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-80 degrees. For transplants, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 2-3 weeks after your average last frost date. Harvest when small & pick daily. Mature cucumbers on the vine slow production of new fruit.
