Growing Instructions
Transplant when large enough to handle into 8cm (3in) pots and grow on in cooler conditions.
Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 60cm (24in) apart in a sunny sheltered spot on rich well drained soil.
Aftercare Instructions
Water regularly and feed every 14 days once the courgettes start to develop pick regularly while small 10-16cm (4-6in) and don't leave any on to grow large or cropping will be impaired.
Can also be sown where they are to crop in late spring/early summer once the soil has warmed up.
Sow 3 seeds every 60cm (24in) and thin out to the best seedling.
