Week 21 - Bed EX1 Planting

We prepared this bed as a rough lazy-bed and created 4 small mounds onto which we sowed:
  • Nero di Milano Courgette (1 station of 4 seeds) - a dark green variety with lightly mottled fruits
  • Genovese Courgette (1 station of 4 seeds) - a pale, early variety with fine lightly mottled green fruit
  • Yellow Straightneck Courgette (2 stations of 4 seeds each) - an early maturing yellow variety with smooth yellow fruits
The raised hills were used to warm the soil to help germination. All but the strongest seedling will be removed to leave 4 plants with lots of room in the bed.
