Growing Courgettes

[wayneyquo]

Does anyone have any good tips with courgette growing?
I have 2 on the go in separate pots but I'm not sure what is the best way to look after them. They are both outside and seem to be doing fine. Is there any special feed or secrets that I should know for successful harvest.

They are one of the easier crops, provided you follow the planting times & harden off properly.

I to grow in pots, big pots, about 20" diameter.

Even in pots this big you will have to keep a sharp eye on the watering. You will also have to feed regularly as they are a hungry plant.

That said I have successfully grown them in 9" pots and got a relatively decent crop, however... its quite a big however too... I had to keep an eye on them like a hawk to make sure they were kept well watered...

Just my two pence...
