Gold Rush courgette: Sowing, planting and harvest calendar
How to sow Gold Rush courgettes successfully under cover?
Start courgettes under cover in individual pots of seed compost, usually in April or early May in a temperate climate. Adjust the timing to your local conditions so that the plants do not have to wait too long before planting out. Sow one seed per pot, on its side, about 1–1.5 cm deep. Keep the compost moist without waterlogging it and provide around 18–21 °C for germination.
Once the seedlings emerge, remove any propagator lid and give them plenty of light. Gradually acclimatise the young plants to outdoor conditions before planting them out, once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Keep the root ball intact and choose a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Allow at least 90 cm between plants, or more if the variety needs it.
