Outdoor variety with smooth green fruit from mid summer onwards.

Sow seed on its edge in April in pots about 9cm diameter. Grow indoors and plant out when any risk of frost has passed. Alternatively sow direct in the veg plot at the end of May

Plant 60cm apart. Water regularly, courgettes are thirsty plants with big leaves

Check daily after fruits have set as they grow very quickly. Harvest when about 6 inches long.
