COURGETTE & SQUASH: How to Sow, Grow & Harvest crops organically - plus Variety Guide to the Best

Welcome to Adam’s Gardening Guides.
One crop I love growing and eating is the courgette and in this video I’ll share my advice on choosing the best varieties and how to sow and grow them.
As well as courgettes I’ve includes a few Summer Squash too as these are grown in the same way.
As an organic gardener I’m always evaluating varieties that show excellent natural resistance to disease, so stay healthy without the need to spray. You’ll find several of my favourites in this video that offer good resistance to powdery mildew disease.
Let me know which is your favourite courgette in the comments below.
