Courgette Tondo Chiaro di Nizza is a light green mottled fruit but the difference is that Tondo is round. Pick when the fruits are about 10cm in diameter. Trailing habit, needs space.

SOW                         April to early June

HARVEST                   July onwards

TYPE                         Maincrop Vegetable

PLOT                      Outdoor plot

WHERE TO SOW:

Early sowings in pots or trays 2cm apart under glass at 22°C. May sowings in cold frames or under cloches. Early June sowings direct into the growing site 2cm deep, 2 or 3 seeds in each position 60cm apart.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Glasshouse and under cover sowings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves and transplanted to growing site in late May, 60cm apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one seedling per station as soon as possible.

HANDY TIP:  Pick fruits when about 10cm in diameter, do not allow fruit to grow larger and old as this will slow down production.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE:   A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C and E.
