Attractively striped fruits with raised green ridges, a productive, bushy plant with early, medium sized fruits having a distinct, almost nutty flavour and firm texture. Producing up to 5kg of fruit per plant, the courgettes of 'Striato d'Italia' are best eaten before 10 inches (25cm) in length. - Growing instructions From late March, sow two seeds to a 10cm pot in a greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill and keep above 65F (18C) until germination, which usually takes between 3 and 10 days. Pot on seedlings as they grow, keeping them well-watered and warm, then harden off and plant out in soil, enriched with organic matter, in a sunny, sheltered spot after all threat of frost has passed. Protect plants from slugs and water thoroughly in dry spells. Once the plants start to fruit, feed every 14 days with a liquid ‘tomato type’ fertiliser.
