Cultivation advice Courgette Defender F1
RHS Award of Garden Merit winner

A sunny spot protected from strong winds is essential.
The soil should be well drained and rich in humus, the more the better.
For an early start (late Mar) place a single seed edgeways 1/2inch deep in seed compost in a 3inch pot. The critical part is temperature, these need at least 65F continuous soil temperature (preferably more to maximise germination rates) until germinated.
Keep the soil moist – water copiously around the plants, not over them.
Keep weed free to allow air circulation.
Once the plants start to fruit, feed every 14 days with a tomato type fertilizer, these are greedy plants.
