I just wanted to say thank you for your helpful attitude, quick and efficient packaging and delivery of the 200 broadbeans plugs that I needed at such short notice. Very impressed!

If you're looking for fast-cropping vegetable plants, then why not plant a Summer Squash or Courgette plant? Our Summer Qquash seeds and Courgette seeds can be planted in spring, and by summer and through to early autumn the fast-growing plants will produce an ongoing crop of tasty veg.
Pick the courgettes and squashes whilst they are still small, or leave them to grow to marrow size (but don't expect to be able to give them away!). More...
Our Courgette seeds, Marrow seeds and Summer Squash seeds are supplied and packed right here at Victoriana Nursery Gardens in Kent. We've made an effort to pick the best varieties of Summer Squash, Courgette and Marrow plants, bringing our customers a relatively small but perfectly formed selection of the tastiest varieties currently available.
All Summer Squash, Courgette and Marrow plants have been grown by us, and we've undertaken the very difficult challenge (!) of taste-testing the fruit to ensure that they really do offer an abundance of high-quality, flavoursome crops. All fruits grown from our Summer Squash seeds and Courgette seeds should ideally picked at around 4" (10 cm), although if preferred they can also be left to mature into larger fruits. As they get bigger they'll develop thick protective skins that make them easier to store.
Plant your Courgette seeds and Squash seeds in rich, fertile soil and water regularly - never allow them to dry out when flowering or whilst the fruits are swelling as this could seriously damage your crop. Summer Squashes, Marrows and Courgettes also require a spot with good ventilation to help avoid common diseases such as powdery mildew and foot and root rot. Some varieties may also require extra support to avoid overcrowding and rot, and as such can be trained to grow vertically a specially constructed structure such as a trellis or sturdy plant wigwam.
