I was given some courgette seeds, which have germinated well. I now

Their spread is about 3' x 3' and I guess a roughly bucket sized pot
ought to do. I plant mine in the top of the year old compost heap.

Two or three plants will give you more courgettes than you can eat.


Thanks, I did grow some a couple of years ago, just 2 (but in the soil)
and we had so many courgettes that I ended up make courgette chutney and
even courgette and ginger jam! (I think there is still a jar in the
cupboard).

I'm now looking for buckets that I can drill holes in
