Classic Italian courgette, indispensable for a host of dishes. Courgette Zucchino Nano Verde di Milano crops early and heavily throughout the summer if the fruits are picked regularly. Early morning picked flowers can be battered and fried or in ‘frittata’, an Italian style omelette.
This crop requires a rich, well-manured, moisture retentive soil. Sow seed direct after all danger of frost has passed, 20mm deep, sowing 2 seeds per station with each station 70cm apart. After germination, thin leaving the strongest plant per station. Seeds can also be sown in pots under protection during April and May and then planted out after all danger of frost has passed at 70cm apart.
Planting in frames or under cloches will give stronger plants and earlier flowering. Keep well watered and feed regularly once the first fruits have set.
Fruits can be harvested after about 4 days when 1-15cm in length. If fruits are allowed to develop to full size these are treated as marrows for slicing and cooking or are stuffed with meats and herbs. Harvest regularly for maximum crops over a long season.
