Courgette 'Arte' F1 / 'Tevere' F1 / 'Cesare' F1 10 Seeds

Product number: 074700
Origin: North America
Latin: Cucurbita pepo

As the name suggests, each fruit is a work of art. It is a cultivated variety of the old 'Lungo Fiorentino' strain, but with a darker green colour. Extremely productive, large flowers, and the fruits have beautiful sharp ribs on top. This (as with the old variety) creates a stunning effect when cut!

Courgettes can be grown outdoors without any problems. This variety is non-trailing; the fruits grow from the centre of
the plant. For consumption, harvest the fruits when young to very young. For ornamental purposes, let them grow larger, then they can be stored.

(Too) big a harvest? Bake a quantity of sliced courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then puree and freeze. After thawing, this forms a good base for soups when combined with broth. If the courgette is a bit too large: Peel and deseed it, then peel completely into ribbons with a peeler or cheese slicer, creating beautiful white strands. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Then mix well with two generous tablespoons of chopped chives, the same amount of pimpernel leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This makes a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the courgette. For every 15 cm of courgette length and 25 cm circumference, it's enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main or side dish…
