How to sow round courgettes successfully under cover?
To sow round courgettes under cover, we recommend that you start by sowing them in individual cups filled with potting soil. The seeds can be planted at a depth of around 2 cm. We recommend sowing round courgettes in spring, when temperatures are mild, between April and May.
It is important to ensure that courgette plants receive plenty of sunlight and constant humidity. We therefore recommend watering them regularly, taking care not to get the foliage too wet to avoid disease. Once the plants have developed a few leaves, they can be transplanted into the ground, spacing them about 80 cm apart to allow for good development.
It's also important to keep an eye out for any predators, such as slugs and aphids, and adopt natural control methods to keep them away. Finally, you can mulch the soil around courgette plants to limit weeds and conserve soil moisture.
