For a landrace, this is a remarkably early, prolific courgette. The slightly tapered fruits are light yellow in colour and very tasty. The plants are medium-sized and relatively open in growth: easy to harvest.

Courgettes can be grown outdoors without any problems. This variety does not trail; 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? Sauté a quantity of chopped zucchini, onions, and garlic. Then, puree and freeze. After thawing, this, combined with broth, forms an excellent base for soups. If the zucchini has grown rather large: Peel and de-seed, then completely peel into ribbons using a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, creating beautiful white strands of zucchini. 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 approximately 4 to 8 people, depending on the zucchini. Per 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…
