This (modestly) climbing zucchini has been specifically developed for professional greenhouse cultivation. It is cultivated like cucumbers, yielding a higher output per m² than non-trailing varieties. Due to its rapid growth, harvesting can begin as early as 45 days after transplanting. The cylindrical, dark green fruits have good shelf life, even when picked very immature (=young). Outdoor cultivation is also possible, of course! Planting distance 200x20 cm.

(Too) big a harvest? Bake a quantity of sliced courgettes, onions, and garlic. Then purée and freeze. After thawing, this, together with broth, forms a good base for soups. If the courgette is a bit too large: Peel and deseed, then shave completely with a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating courgette ribbons, beautiful white strips. Sprinkle with salt and let drain. Then mix well with two generous tablespoons of chopped chives, the same amount of burnet leaves, and the same amount of mayonnaise. This makes a delicious salad for about 4 to 8 people, depending on the courgette. For every 15 cm of courgette 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…
