GENOESE COURGETTE - 1385

Cucurbitaceae Family Sowing: Indoors in February-March, 2-3 seeds per pot for early harvests. Outdoors, plant in the ground, in April-May, 3-4 seeds per hole. They will not germinate unless the soil temperature is about 20°C. Transplanting: Outdoors in April-May, thin out, leaving one plant per hole when the plants have 3-4 leaves. Spacing: 1-1.5 m between rows, 0.8-1 m between rows. Tips: Water abundantly, otherwise predominantly male flowers will form. Harvest daily or every 2-3 days when the flower at the tip of the fruit begins to close. The larger the fruit, the more it loses its characteristic flavor. Grow in soil very rich in organic matter and do not grow after Solanaceae or plants from the same family as Cucurbitaceae. Seed required: 50-60 g per 100 m2 of soil.
