Courgette seeds - Midnight F1 is a slightly speckled courgette with a good flavour, compact and bushy plant. It is ideal for growing in containers as it is completely spineless and so easier to pick.

The courgette is probably the most popular form of all the marrow family. Picked young it can be used in a host of delicious dishes; fried with garlic butter or stuffed!

When harvesting please discard any bitter tasting fruits. We suggest carrying out a "tongue tip taste test", particularly when harvesting the first fruits from a new plant.
