Profile

Sowing

Sow indoors - March to May
Sow outdoors - May to June, once the risk of frost has passed
Sowing depth - 1.5 cm
Final spacing - 60 cm to 90 cm
Germination - Usually 7 to 14 days

Sow one seed per small pot and keep somewhere warm. Plant outside once the seedlings are strong and the weather has settled.

These measurements are only a guide. Growing is not an exact science, so do not worry if every seed is not perfectly placed.

Grower tip: Give each plant plenty of room and pick the fruits while they are still young. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to keep producing.

Growing

Courgettes like sun, warmth and rich soil. Water regularly, especially once fruits begin forming. Feed every week or two with a general vegetable feed once the plant starts flowering. Pick fruits
often to keep the plant producing.

Pots & Space

Courgettes can grow in large pots, but they need space. Use one plant per large container, ideally 40 cm wide or more. Use good compost, keep it well watered and place it somewhere sunny andsheltered.

Harvest

Harvest from July onwards, once the courgettes are around 10 cm to 15 cm long. Smaller courgettes are usually sweeter and more tender. Keep picking regularly and the plant should continue cropping through summer.
