Courgettes belong to the same family as squashes, cucumbers and melons. Courgette plants are prolific and 2 to 3 plants will usually produce more courgettes than you can eat.

 

 

 

Nero Di Milano is probably the UKs most popular courgette variety. It produces dark-green, cylindrical courgettes of fine quality with an open plant habit that makes picking easy. They crop over a long period and should be harvested when 15 - 20cm long but can be left to grow into Marrows.

 

The variety originates in Italy and is sometimes called ‘Black Beauty’.

 

Sow in pots under-cover about 1-2cm deep and keep warm. Harden off and plant out when all risk of frost has passed.

 

Plants should be spaced about 60-90 cm (24-36 in) apart and kept well watered.
