How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Green Courgette:

1. Prepare the Soil:
   Courgettes thrive in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Choose a sunny spot in the garden with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. For container growing, use a high-quality potting mix.

2. Sow the Seeds:
   Sow the seeds directly into the soil once the risk of frost has passed. Plant the seeds 2-3 cm deep, spacing them about 50 cm apart. If growing in containers, plant one or two seeds per pot.

3. Water Regularly:
   Courgettes need plenty of water to grow well, so ensure the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant, taking care not to wet the foliage, to prevent fungal diseases.

4. Fertilise for Better Growth:
   Apply a general-purpose fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and larger yields. Fertilise once the plants start to flower and again halfway through the growing season.

5. Harvest:
   Courgettes are typically ready to harvest in 8-10 weeks, when they are about 15-20 cm long. Pick the courgettes regularly to encourage further fruiting, and avoid leaving them too long on the vine, as this can reduce the plants productivity.
