Gardener’s Tip

Sow indoors from early spring or directly outdoors once the soil has warmed, in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position. Courgettes need space to grow, so allow plenty of room between plants.

Harvest regularly while fruits are still young and tender. Frequent picking encourages further production, ensuring a continuous crop throughout the summer months.
