How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Yellow Courgette:

1. Prepare the Soil:
   Courgettes prefer well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a sunny spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Ensure the soil is rich in nutrients to support healthy growth.

2. Sow the Seeds:
   You can sow seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost or sow them directly outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. If sowing indoors, plant the seeds about 2.5 cm deep in small pots or trays. Transplant seedlings once the danger of frost has passed and the plants are large enough to handle.

3. Space the Plants:
   When transplanting outdoors, space the plants around 30 cm apart to allow them room to spread. Courgettes have large leaves, so give them plenty of space for air circulation.

4. Water Regularly:
   Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry and reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

5. Harvest:
   Yellow courgettes are typically ready to harvest in 8-10 weeks. Pick them when they are young, around 15-20 cm in length, for the best texture and flavour. Harvest regularly to encourage further fruit production throughout the growing season.
