Lingodor produces bright yellow cylindrical fruits of superb quality. It is a vigorous and productive plant, resistant to virus with a very good shelf life.SOWING INSTRUCTIONS: Sow seed at a depth of 2cm (¾in) in 7.5cm (3in) pots of free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) until germination which takes 5-7 days. Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: Once germinated, grow courgettes on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and courgette plants are large enough to be transplanted. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before planting courgettes outdoors in rich, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun at a distance of 90cm (36in) apart. Alternatively direct sow courgettes outdoors at a depth of 2cm (¾in) and a distance of 90cm (36in) apart. Sow 2 seeds per hole and thin out the weakest seedling per station after germination. -
British breeding and a world first in climbing golden skinned courgettes. Stunning space saving plant when grown up a trellis/arch. The fruits are less watery than many varieties so firmer when sliced for salads and stir fries. Harvest regularly to extend the season.Sow mid-April to early June under glass for transplanting outdoors. Sow 2cm (3/4in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of good seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 21-25C (70-77F) until after germination which takes 5-7 days. Can also be sown direct outdoors from mid-May once the soil has warmed and risk of frost has passed, 2.5cm (1in) deep at 60cm (24in) apart in rows 60cm (24in) apart.Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed, 60cm (24in) apart each way. Group 3 plants together to ensure pollination. Feed with potash fertiliser once fruiting begins. Tie stems regularly to support the weight of fruit. Water and pick fruits regularly to extend the harvesting season. -
"Dark green, speckled courgettes, 15-20cm in length are produced on parthenocarpic plants - pollination by insects is not needed - whichshow good resistance to powdery mildew until late in the season.Fruits have a stronger flavour than many green courgette varieties.""Sow seed, 1cm (½in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of free draining compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bagand place at 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which takes 7-10 days. Do notexclude light as this helps germination.""Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, minimum 75cm (30in) apart. Canalso be sown direct outdoors once the soil has warmed. Sow 2 seeds every 75cm(30in) and thin out to the best seedling."SERVING SUGGESTION: Use fresh courgette flowers stuffed with ricotta cheese or rice and vegetables -
Best grown as a half hardy annual in the greenhouse, but will fruit prolifically in a sunny spot outdoors. The vigorous slender vines will need support/netting to ramble and can be trimmed if become too rampant. The vines are carpeted with dainty yellow flowers which form huge numbers of larger grape-like fruits all summer. Fruits are firm, juicy with a refreshing cucumber and hint of lime flavour.Sow seed on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with about 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 21-24C (70-75F) until germination, then reduce to 18C (65F). Germination up to 21 days.Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant out, 1 plant per 25cm (10in) container or 2 plants per growbag. Can also be planted outdoors in a sunny spot in late May/June once all risk of frost has passed. Plants will need support to ramble. -

A vigorous plant habit and excellent powdery mildew resistance makes this a reliable variety for the home gardener. ‘Bella’ produces good crops of bitter-free fruits of about 35cm (14in) in length with that true cucumber taste often missing in shop-bought fruits.Sow 1cm deep, in 7cm (3in) pots of free-draining compost. Place in a propagator and keep at a temperature of around 20-25C (68-77F) until germination, usually 5-7 days.When first true leaves develop, transplant into 13cm (5in) pots. Finally, plant into 25cm (10in) pots or into growbags. Grow on at a minimum of 15C (59F). Train along wire, allowing the main shoot to reach the tip. -

Sow mid April to early June under glass to transplant outdoors. Mixed flowers, both types are required for pollination. Prefers well-drained, moist, rich soil in full sun. Extend the season with cloches.Sow mid April to early June, 2.5cm (1in) deep, in pots or trays of good seed sowing mix at 20C (68F) under glass or in a propagator. Protect emerging seedlings from direct sunlight to avoid scorching.Pot on individual seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots of sowing mix and keep barely moist to avoid stem rot. Maintain a temperature of about 20C (68F). Plant out 75x75cm (30x30in) apart once frost risk has passed. If space is limited, train up supports/netting -
