Courgettes can be grown outdoors without any problems. This variety does not trail; the fruits grow from the center of
the plant. For consumption, harvest the fruits young to very young. For ornamental purposes, let them grow larger, then they can be stored.

(Too) large a harvest? Sauté a quantity of chopped zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then, purée and freeze it. After thawing, this forms a good base for soups when combined with broth. If the zucchini has grown a bit too large: Peel and deseed it, then shave it completely into ribbons with a peeler or cheese slicer, creating beautiful white strands of zucchini. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Afterward, mix well with two generous tablespoons of chopped chives, the same amount of salad burnet leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. Here you have a delicious salad for approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the size of the zucchini. For every 15 cm of zucchini length and a circumference of 25 cm, it's enough for 1 to 2 people, depending on whether it's a main course or a side dish...
