Growing Courgette Seeds & Courgettes Plants in containers

Courgette Seeds in Containers

If you're looking to grow a vegetable on your balcony or patio, Courgettes seeds are a fantastic option for you. All you need is large pots, a high quality potting mix, and your courgette seeds.

In the pot, plant them about 1 cm deep in the soil and place in a sunny spot.

When to Sow Courgette Seeds

If you are starting your courgette seeds inside to give them a head start, sow them around 4-6 weeks before the late frosts in your area. Sow them in seed trays and pop them in a sunny spot indoors.

Outside, wait to sow your seeds until the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.

Caring for Young Plants

As courgettes are heavy feeders, regular feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks can support their vigorous growth and fruit production. Regularly check for pests and diseases, and remove any damaged or yellowing leaves to promote healthy growth.

Consistent watering is crucial; keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to diseases. Applying a layer of mulch around the plants helps retain moisture and reduces weeds.

With proper care, courgette plants in containers can produce a bountiful harvest. Picking the courgettes when they are young and tender, typically around 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) long, encourages the plants to produce more fruit.

How to Harvest Courgettes at the Right Time

For the best flavour, it's important to harvest your courgette plant at the right time. Courgettes should be harvested when they are young and tender, typically when they reach about 15-20 cm in length. At this size, they have a firm texture and a mild, sweet flavour.

Waiting too long to harvest can result in larger, more fibrous courgettes that may be less palatable.
