A popular variety, which gives reliable crop.

 Courgette Black Beauty is a standard, dark green skinned courgette, very easy to grow.

 

Sow the courgette seeds late March through April under glass for growing in the greenhouse, or late April through May to transplant outdoors. Seeds can also be sown direct outdoors, in a finely prepared bed, from late May.

Sow seeds 2 cm deep in 7.5 cm pots of good compost or in seed cells, 1-2 seeds per pot/cell, so you can save the stronger seedling. 

Transplant the seedlings into bigger pots when large enough to handle

Place in a propagator before transplanting outside to acclimatise the plants to the outdoor conditions. Leave around 60 cm between the plants when planting into final position.

Pick the courgette fruits regularly to encourage further production.
