Thompson and Morgan Courgette Golden Glory Potted Plant 9cm 3 Pack

Courgette ‘Golden Glory’ is a stunning variety to add to your veg patch, with bright yellow fruits which are sure to stand out! These courgettes boast a long cropping season, ready to harvest between June and October, so you can enjoy the fruits for longer. The plants are spineless too, so you will not need to worry about nasty skin irritation when harvesting your Courgettes. How to Grow: Grow courgettes in moist, rich fertile, well drained soil in a sheltered position in full sun. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Space courgettes at a distance of 90cm (36") apart, and water thoroughly after planting. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. When growing courgettes, a thick mulch of organic matter spread around the plants will help to conserve moisture at the roots. Water courgettes regularly - do not allow the soil to dry out as this will impair their development. Courgettes appreciate an application of a high potash fertiliser every two weeks during the growing season. Hand pollinating courgettes is not usually required when they are grown outdoors. However, for indoor cultivation the female flowers can be fertilised by pressing a male flower against them. Begin harvesting courgettes from midsummer onwards when they are 10cm (4") long. Regular harvesting will encourage more courgettes to be produced. Culinary note: Courgette flowers are edible and can be eaten cooked or added raw to salads.
