Italian Courgette Cocozelle Di Napoli

Italian Courgette Cocozelle Di Napoli – Growing Instructions

• 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 1cm deep in seed compost in a 7cm pot.
• The critical part is temperature, these need at least 18°C 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.
