Product Description
Recommended to me by many foodies, Courgette 'Romanesco' is a wonderful courgette with characteristic ribs down the fruit. It has excellent flavour and texture, not ever turning watery, even when quite large. Picked small and whole, the flavour reminds me of globe artichoke hearts. Its flowers are huge too - ideal for stuffing and dipping into tempura batter.
Do at least two sowings of courgettes, splitting your packets, so that you have fruit to pick for 3-4 months at a stretch. And sow two or three different colours so they look good in the garden and on the plate (see multi-coloured courgette collection).
