Courgette – Green Bush

Description

Dark green stocky fruits on a compact plant with bushy growth habit. Good for smaller spaces as doesn’t trail.

Sow indoors from April or sow direct from end May. Indoors, sow seeds on their side 12mm deep into 8cm pots of moist well-drained, firmed compost. Propagate or place on a windowsill. Min temp. 10°C. Germination takes 10-14 days. Once germinated pot on at once to a 12cm pot. Keep barely moist and protect from strong light. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed. Plant with 120cm spacing to provide good air circulation. If growing in pots, one plant per large pot (as big as you can manage) is plenty, give a feed once a week after first flower (something similar to multi-purpose feed or use Tomorite) and don’t let the pot dry out. For direct sowing, sow 4 weeks prior to last frost date. Sow 2-3 seeds on their side under cloches with 60cm spacing, thin to strongest seedling once germinated.

Approx.10 seeds.
