FAQs
When can I harvest the courgettes?
You can typically start harvesting your courgettes from June through to October.
Can I eat the flowers?
Yes, the flowers are edible and can be cooked or used raw in salads.
How deep should I plant the seeds?
Seeds should be planted at a depth of 2cm.
Why do I need to taste-test the fruit?
While rare, some courgettes can be bitter. Testing a small piece prevents a bitter fruit from ruining your meal.
What is the recommended spacing for outdoor planting?
Plant in groups spaced 90cm apart to ensure the plants have enough room to grow and produce fruit.
Troubleshooting
Fruit tastes bitter
Extremely rarely, courgettes can develop a bitter taste. Always test a small sliver of the cut fruit before cooking and discard it if bitterness is detected.
Slow seedling growth
Ensure indoor temperatures are maintained between 15–18°C and provide adequate sunlight as soon as the seedlings emerge.
Low yield
Verify that plants are spaced 90cm apart to allow for airflow and root health, and ensure a consistent feeding schedule is maintained.
