How Much Space Does A Courgette Plant Need?
Courgette plants will do best in gardens with plenty of room for vegetable beds. They take up quite a bit of space, needing around 3ft between each plant.
One solution for smaller gardens without sprawling garden beds could be to grow your courgettes in growing bags or large containers.
What Month Do You Plant Courgettes?
Courgette seeds are quite hardy on account of their large size and flat shape. You should aim to sow them quite late in the season – pot them on a windowsill or in a greenhouse in May, or late April at the earliest.
Courgette seedlings and plants can be planted straight into the soil any time from mid-May providing it has a minimum of two large leaves – mind the gentle stem!
How Long Does It Take For Courgettes To Grow?
Courgette plants are quite easy to grow as they only need watering approximately once a week while they are established. They produce vegetables quickly – you can expect the first courgettes to be ready to harvest after approximately 8 weeks.
