Courgette Tondo 'Chiaro Di Nizza'

20 seeds

Sow seeds directly in well-draining, fertile soil after the last frost date, or start indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting once the weather warms. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. This round courgette variety thrives in full sun and prefers warm temperatures (70°F - 85°F/21°C - 29°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and control weeds. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and fruit production. Harvest the courgettes when they are young, tender, and round, typically 40-50 days after sowing. Watch for pests like aphids and squash bugs, and manage them as necessary.
