Default Advise on courgettes growing


"comescoglio940" wrote in message

I would like to grow courgettes, just few plants in pots, but I don't have
a greenhouse.
The aim is to get flowers, is it possible to grow them outside? And when
should they be sown/planted?


They grow easily outdoors. They get very big so you will eventually need
decent sized pots. The main restriction on planting times is that they are
tender so you have to wait until end of April/May or so before sowing as
frost would do them in. The simplest is to buy a few seedlings in mid May
as garden centres have loads of them but they grow very easily from seed
anyway.

Grateful for any advise.
