How to grow Courgette Ola Redonda Seeds
Growing Courgette Ola Redonda seeds is relatively straightforward. To start indoors, sow seeds in seed trays or pots filled with seed compost around mid-April.

Germination for courgette Ola Redonda takes approximately 7-14 days. Space plants approximately 60 cm apart.
Courgettes thrive with regular watering, especially during dry periods. While they are not heavy feeders, applying a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing season can benefit the plants. Support tall varieties with stakes or trellis if necessary. Protect young plants from slugs and snails.
Begin harvesting courgettes when they reach about 10-15 centimeters in size for optimal flavor and texture. Harvest time is approx 40-50 days after transplanting. Consistent harvesting encourages continuous production. After harvesting, these courgettes can be stored in a cool place for 4-5 weeks.
