How to grow

Courgette Black Beauty can be started indoors from March. Using small pots or a seedling module, sow one seed (on its side) per module or pot. When they outgrow the pot or module, transplant to a bigger pot. Transplant outdoors when frost risk has passed. Alternatively, so directly outdoors from May onwards. Start picking the courgettes when they become 10-15 centimetres in length. Frequent harvesting will keep the plant productive all the way until autumn.
