These are ‘Black Beauty’ Zucchinis. The name says it all – the Zucchinis will have a rich dark green skin. I bought organic seeds online and sprouted them in a mini greenhouse. In only a few weeks from sowing, they just took over the whole container and most are now ready for planting out.

Although that is not […]
