Grow Your Own
Courgettes, or zucchinis as they are also known, are ‘summer’ squashes, which means that they are harvested and used straight away during the summer, as opposed to other squashes, like pumpkins, that are grown and stored for winter use.
WHICH VARIETY TO GROW
Black Beauty: A classic, dark green courgette.
Yellow Zucchini: A yellow variety, with more of a buttery texture and a slightly different flavour from green courgettes .
