Courgette Zucchini is an early, medium green variety, recommended to us by Mat & Helen (one of VegetableSeeds.net customers!).

SOW:   April  

HARVEST:  July onwards

Courgette (Zucchini) is happiest when grown on a compost heap. This tells you that when grown in the open , it prefers loose, well drained soil, that has been well dug over.

Soil needs to be well manured the previous autumn (more so than with other vegetables).

An ideal preparation is to dig out a whole 1 spades depth, and half fill with well rotted compost or even grass cuttings, and then refill with top soil.

Each plant needs to be at least 1m from it’s nearest neighbour.

Seeds can be sown outside at the expected date of the last frost. Sow seeds 2cm deep.

Tip: If courgettes are not picked early they will develop into marrows.
