Courgette Plants
Where to grow your courgettes
Start off growing courgettes in pots on a warm windowsill, in a greenhouse or conservatory. When the first frosts have passed, you can plant them out in raised beds, borders or containers with plenty of space between plants to allow for spreading. Climbing courgette Tromboncino Albenga can even be trained to grow up a trellis. Courgettes prefer a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden and need daily watering in hot weather.
Courgette plant care tips
Harvest Green Bush and Atena Polka when the fruits are at least 8cm long. Make sure to pick them regularly or you’ll end up with marrows! Pick round courgettes Tondo Chiara di Nizza when they’re about 7-8cm across for the best flavour, and Tromboncino Albenga when they reach approximately 25cm. Slice across the fruit’s stalk with a knife to cut your fresh courgettes. For more advice on planting, growing and harvesting courgettes, check out our full guide.
