Zucchini Costata Romanesco

Take care that nocturnal frosts are no longer to be feared. Cucurbits are  very sensitive to cold and  will be destroyed by the slightest frost. 

Space the courgette plants 60 cm apart in the row and leave 1 m between the rows. Regular hoeing and weeding are required. Regular watering (especially in summer) but without excess.  When setting up the plants, it is a good idea to enrich the planting holes with well-ripened compost. 

  Or, start early indoors in pots and transplant after the last frost.  Can also be sown directly in the field when the soil temperature is 24°C.
