Description

A very heavy and early yielder of solid mid-green courgettes. The early yield is almost twice that of some other varieties and it just keeps producing firm, remarkably heavy fruit right through the season. It has an open habit which lets you see and pick the fruits easily, and it has excellent resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus.

Sowing Instructions

Sow in spring 1cm (½in) deep in a good seed compost. Germination usually takes 6-10 days at 24C (75F). Can also be sown where they are to crop in late spring/early summer once the soil has warmed up. Sow 3 seeds every 60cm (24in) and thin out to the best seedling.

Aftercare

Water regularly and feed every 14 days once the courgettes start to develop pick regularly while small 10-16cm (4-6in) and don't leave any on to grow large or cropping will be impaired.
