How to Sow and Plant
+
Sow courgette seeds indoors from February to May in seed trays or pots filled with light, well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist and maintain a warm environment for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors from March until July, spacing plants 60-90 cm apart in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. For direct sowing, plant seeds outdoors after the last frost, ensuring soil temperature is warm enough. Water gently after sowing to settle the soil and encourage strong root development, setting the stage for vigorous bush growth and abundant fruit production.
Courgette plants thrive best in warm, sunny locations with well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, encouraging vigorous growth and abundant fruit production. Apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy development. Mulching helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest courgettes when fruits are young and tender for optimal flavor and texture. Providing adequate space between plants ensures good air circulation, reducing the risk of disease and promoting robust, productive bush varieties throughout the season.
