Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Pick the vegetables frequently when they’re small to promote a long harvesting season.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during dry spells.
How to Plant
Wait until the risk of frost has passed and plant courgettes in a warm sheltered spot where they can soak up the sun. Courgettes grow well in the ground or in large containers, providing the soil is rich, moist, and well-draining. Carefully remove the plant from its post, trying not to disturb the roots too much, and position it in the hole before backfilling, firming down gently, and watering well. Allow around 90cm between plants.
