Meanwhile here’s the know-how you need to grow tasty courgettes!
Courgettes are one of the easiest and most productive crops you can grow yourself. They are extremely fast – from sowing you can be eating your own within six weeks!!
What you’ll need…

•          Courgette seeds (from the Seed Bags ^.^)
•          Multi-purpose compost
•          Hand trowel
•          Plastic pots
•          Seed trays

Step 1. For early crops, sow in seeds trays on a windowsill. Sow one seed per cell into moist multi-purpose compost.

Step 2. Transplant you strongest seedlings into individual plastic potsIf you do not have soil area, change the pot to a bigger one and add compost.

Step 3. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and if you have soil area dig a hole, adding a trowel of compost to the soil. Plant out your courgette plants 90cm apart. Place a layer of 5cm of compost to help the soil hold moisture.

Step 4. Keep your plants healthy by adding compost or liquid feed (organic ;)) when required. Harvest regularly when they reach 10cm long.

 Tips

• Courgettes need plenty of water, but take care always to water at the base of the plant only or they’ll rot.

• Keeping the soil permanently moist is ideal.

• The large fleshy flowers can be eaten, but fewer courgettes will develop if you harvest too many.

• Remember that courgettes are young marrows, so you can get two different crops on one plant if you let some develop into marrows.
