Courgette

The courgette is probably the most popular form of all the marrow family. Picked young for use in a whole host of different dishes. Constant cropping is required to keep the plants in production. Browse through our range to find the right courgette for you. We have climbing courgette seeds, yellow varieties and some unusual varieties such as One Ball!

To grow courgettes from seed, sow on the edge in pots at 1.5cm deep to prevent rotting, during April to May under glass, at 20°C. Sow outdoor mid-May to June direct into the growing site at 1.5cm deep and 2 to 3 seeds in each position, 60cm apart. Greenhouse raised courgette seedlings should gradually be hardened off once they have developed the first pair of rough leaves. Transplant to the growing site in May to early June at 60cm apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to one plant per station. Water regularly and feed often.
