Expect a generous harvest from June through October, allowing you to savour these delights for an extended period. The spineless plants ensure a comfortable harvesting experience, free from skin irritation.For optimal growth, plant courgettes in moist, rich, fertile, and well-drained soil, in a sunny and sheltered location. Enhance the soil in early spring by incorporating plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to boost its structure and fertility. Space plants 90cm (36 inches) apart, ensuring thorough watering after planting. Protect your crop from birds and insects with netting or fleece. Applying a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants will help retain vital moisture at the roots. Consistent watering is key, as allowing the soil to dry out can hinder development. Fortnightly applications of a high potash fertiliser during the growing season will be greatly appreciated.While outdoor plants typically don't require hand-pollination, indoor plants will benefit from transferring pollen from male to female flowers. Begin harvesting when the courgettes reach approximately 10cm (4 inches) in length, usually from midsummer. Regular harvesting encourages continuous production.Culinary enthusiasts will be pleased to know that courgette flowers are edible, perfect cooked or added raw to salads.Product Specifications:.Position: Full sun.Height: Up to 45cm (18 inches).Spread: Up to 90cm (35 inches).Harvest: June - October.Images are for illustrative purposes only, showing expected results upon maturity.
