Mr Fothergill's 17627 Vegetable Seeds, COURGETTES & Summer SQUASHES Collection

Mr Fothergills Seeds are always execellent but will have to wait and see what they taste like as it only April

Photo is a bit mixed up with some other produce I have grown, but all plants I grew from this packet are thriving and not all courgettes are created equal! The different flavours and textures of the alternative shapes and colour are great, well worth a try, the round one is my favourite, it’s firm and maintains its shape and is sweet in taste. The party pan is also firm but more delicate and floral in flavour. The bullet shaped stripes one is similar to the round with a more spongy texture. Both the patty pan and yellow scallop take longer to mature than the other courgettes, but they are big vigorous plants and once they start producing they produce a lot

On the plus side 100% germination. On the negative side - they’re all the same type of squash. Every plant that germinated now has a little green squash on it. I love squash - thankfully - but I also quite like zucchini/courgettes!!

Bought these seeds last year and all 6 plants grew well and produced loads of courgettes. I only used one seed per packet and intended to use the rest this year but somehow I managed to put them away so carefully that I can't find them, hence here I am buying them again. Good quality reliable seeds, all courgette/squash plants love feeding so the more you feed the more plants you get.

I cannot tell you much as they are only ready to set know. However the packaging is good the front advertised very well with good instructions as to when to set and when they will be ready. Will give a better rating when the produce results in a good yield.

All apart from one of the varieties germinated within 10 days and they're growing really well now! Planted them in late April and they're going pretty strong in the garden now.

Old Stock - Sow by 2024. Packet price £4.99

All the seeds that were sown this year have germinated. I’m amused that I’m asked about taste. They’re only plants at the moment. Come back in a couple months time.
