Description
Mr Fothergill’s Courgette Romanesco Seeds, Considered one of the best for flavour. Harvest regularly to encourage plants to continue cropping through the season. Discard any bitter tasting fruit.
Sow indoors for surest results, 1.5cm deep, edge down, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 60cm apart, when frosts are over. Or sow outdoors for ease, where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil. Allow 60cm between sowing positions. Sow two seeds, edge down, per position. Early sowings benefit from cloche protection. Thin to leave the stronger plant. Keep well watered. Cut the courgettes when they are about 15cm long. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous cropping.
• Attractive, unusual ridges run along the fruits
• Italian favourite, distinct robust flavour
• Excellent source of vitamin C
