Courgette All Green Bush Seeds
WHEN TO SOW
April to Early June.
WHERE TO SOW
Early sowings in pots or trays 2cm (1") apart under glass at 22°C. May sowings in cold frames or under cloches. Early June sowings direct into the growing site 2cm (1") deep, 2 or 3 seeds in each position, 60cm (24") 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 (24") apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one seedling per station as soon as possible.
MATURITY
July onwards
HANDY TIP
Regular picking produces a crop over many months. Do not leave fruit to become large, as this slows down the production.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE
A good source of pro-vitamin A, vitamins C and E.
