- Water copiously.


Pruning and looking after:
- Mulch the ground to avoid the fruits getting dirty.
- Regularly pinch out the extremity of the stems to allow the appearance of new shoots.
- Water regularly and copiously.
- Do not wait too long to harvest your Zucchini, Courgettes, as they become less palatable if too big. If your harvest is abundant, think about freezing them as soon as they are picked, you then will be able to enjoy them during the winter months!
