When to Sow Darko Courgette Seeds

April to May underglass May to June outdoors

Where to Sow

Sow seed on edge 1.5cm (1/2") deep to prevent rotting in pots or trays during April to May 2.5cm (1") apart under glass at 20°C (68°F) using good quality seed sowing compost. Sow outdoors mid-May to June direct into growing site 1.5cm (1/2") deep 2 to 3 seeds in each position 60cm (24") apart.

What to do Next

Greenhouse sowings should be gradually hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves and transplanted direct to growing site in late-May to early-June, leaving a space of 60cm (24") between each courgette plant. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one plant per station.

Maturity

July to October

Handy Tip

Picking the courgettes regularly means that the plant produces a crop over many months. Do not leave the fruits to become large, as this slows the production down.
