Organic Courgette - Syrian *NEW*

£3.00

Cucurbita pepo - Approx. 12 seeds.

A delicious courgette, bred in Syria by Future Seeds of Aleppo.  We received these seeds from Adam Alexander, The Seed Detective, who collected them during his travels in 2011. 

"Unlike so many courgettes, this is very flavoursome with a high fibre content.  Delicious when eaten no longer than 15cms, grows and fruits over a long season.  What’s not to like!" - Adam

Growing Info

Best sown in pots in a heated propagator or on a sunny windowsill in April–May. Plants grow quickly, so avoid sowing too early—you’ll want to plant them out after the last frost. If you can’t plant them out straight away, be prepared to pot on as they grow.

Enrich the soil with well-rotted manure or garden compost before sowing or planting, and space plants about 90 cm apart. Courgettes thrive undercover and they also grow well outside in a sunny spot.

Top tip: For a longer harvest, sow an early crop undercover and follow with a second sowing in early summer for planting outside. Courgettes can be prone to damping off, so avoid overwatering young seedlings.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
