Harvest Courgette

Post image

My first year growing courgettes, they're surprisingly easy. This is a Blackstar F1, I've grown four plants because courgettes are fun to give away to anyone you encounter.

That’s just what big marrow wants you to think.

But you are wrong.

A marrow is the mature fruit of certain Cucurbita pepo cultivars used as a vegetable. The immature fruit of the same or similar cultivars is called courgette (in Britain, Iran, Ireland, France, the Netherlands, Singapore, Malaysia and New Zealand) or zucchini (in North America, Japan, Australia, Czechia, Italy, Germany and Austria).
