How to Sow and Plant

Sow Patisson courgette seeds indoors under glass in mid-April, then transplant seedlings to well-manured soil outdoors by mid-May. Alternatively, sow directly in a sheltered, partially shaded seedbed from early May to mid-July. Prepare soil by digging and mixing in organic matter to improve drainage and structure. Scatter seeds evenly, keep the seedbed moist and weed-free during germination. After seedlings emerge, transplant them with proper spacing into their final growing spots. This colorful mix includes yellow, orange, green, and white varieties, offering a vibrant addition to your gardenβs summer planting.
Patisson courgettes flourish in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil enriched with organic matter. Maintain consistent moisture to support healthy growth, avoiding waterlogging. Provide ample space for sprawling vines to ensure good air circulation and reduce disease risk. Regularly remove weeds to prevent competition. Harvest fruits early when tender for the best flavor and texture; mature specimens are excellent for decorative or stuffed dishes.
