  • To ensure the best germination, the temperature must be 18-20°C. Sow the seed point-side down 1cm deep in small pots in peat-free compost. Plant 90cm apart. Can be grown in a polytunnel or outside from late May to avoid frosts.

    Sow indoors: April to June

    Plant out: May to July

    Harvest: July to October

  • Courgettes have a delicate, slightly nutty flavour that works across a wide range of dishes. We love them grilled with olive oil and flaky sea salt, sautéed with garlic and herbs, or shaved raw into summer salads.

    They’re excellent in pasta, risottos, and traybakes, and pair beautifully with lemon, mint, and soft cheeses. The flowers are also edible and can be stuffed, fried, or added to light seasonal dishes.

    For the best flavour and texture, harvest fruits young and tender.
