courgette 'El Greco' F1
courgette or Cucurbita pepo 'El Greco'
A highly productive, early cropping courgette with a delicate taste and attractive mid-green fruit. It’s such a versatile fruit and delicious in a stir fry - carve off courgette ‘slivers’ with a potato peeler and cook for a few minutes with garlic, spring onions and peppers tossed in sesame seed oil for a wonderful summer side dish!
How to care for courgette El Greco F1:
Grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed. Then, plant them out in a well-prepared bed, spacing them at 60cm intervals, and keep them well watered - particularly once the fruiting commences. The courgettes are ready to harvest when they are 7-10cm long, and if you keep picking them it will encourage more to form. Therefore, it is possible to harvest them continuously from July until the first frosts.
