The variety that has filled more vegetable patches, more allotments, and more summer suppers than any other, and with very good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"intro\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery kitchen garden needs a courgette, and 'All Green Bush' is the one most worth growing. It is not the flashiest variety — there are no golden fruits, no striped skins, no marrow-like extravagances — but it is consistent, reliable, and productive in a way that matters far more in practice than novelty. The fruits are smooth, cylindrical, a deep glossy dark green, and produced in such abundance from July onwards that the real challenge of growing courgettes is remembering to pick them before they become marrows. Picked at 15–20cm they are at their finest — tender, mild, with a clean fresh flavour and a thin skin that needs no peeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bush habit of 'All Green Bush' is its most practically valuable characteristic — where trailing or semi-trailing courgette varieties sprawl widely across the bed, a well-grown bush plant stays compact enough to fit in a relatively small space, to grow in a large container on a patio, or to sit alongside other vegetables without overwhelming them. Each plant produces fruits continuously from July to the first October frosts, and a single well-grown plant provides more courgettes than most households can comfortably eat — two plants is an abundance; three plants is generosity on a scale that requires neighbours. This is the courgette for the kitchen garden that wants the most reliable, most manageable, most delicious result from the simplest possible effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"section\"\u003e\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 1: Understanding the Plant --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e🌿 Understanding the Plant\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dropdown-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/em\u003e 'All Green Bush' is a \u003cstrong\u003eHalf-Hardy Annual\u003c\/strong\u003e and one of the most widely grown courgette varieties in the British kitchen garden — an open-pollinated bush-type courgette selected for its compact habit, reliable productivity, and excellent fruit quality across a wide range of growing conditions. It is both simpler and more adaptable than many F1 hybrid courgettes, performing well in average conditions without the additional inputs that some higher-performance varieties require.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBush versus Trailing Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Courgette varieties divide broadly into two growth habits — bush types, which form a compact, upright plant with short internodes that stays within a defined space, and trailing or semi-trailing types, which produce long vines that spread across considerable distances. 'All Green Bush' is a genuine bush type, staying broadly within a 60–90cm spread rather than running metres across the bed. This compactness makes it the most practical courgette for average kitchen garden plots, containers, and raised beds where space is at a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Courgette-to-Marrow Continuum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Courgettes and marrows are botanically the same plant — \u003cem\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/em\u003e — and the distinction is purely one of harvest timing. A courgette left unpicked continues to grow into a marrow, and in warm weather this can happen very quickly — a fruit that is 15cm and perfect on Monday can be 40cm and hollow-cored by Friday. The practical implication is that courgettes must be checked and picked every two to three days at peak season, and any fruit that escapes notice and grows large should be removed immediately, as a plant carrying a large marrow significantly reduces its production of new courgettes. Regular picking is not optional — it is the mechanism by which the plant keeps producing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'All Green Bush' alongside 'Zucchini':\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bishy Barnabee's courgette range offers two complementary varieties. 'Zucchini' is the Italian-type courgette — slightly more slender, with a glossy, mid-green skin and a flavour particularly associated with Mediterranean cooking. 'All Green Bush' is the classic British kitchen garden variety — darker, slightly more robust, and the most reliably productive of the two in variable British summer conditions. Growing both provides a complete courgette harvest with slight variation in fruit character and some insurance against any variety performing less well in a particular season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- DROPDOWN 2: Growing Guide --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e🌱 Growing Guide\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dropdown-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCourgettes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow from seed — fast-germinating, fast-growing, and producing a visible harvest within weeks of planting out. The main requirements are warmth, space, consistent moisture, and regular picking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Sow:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSow indoors from \u003cstrong\u003elate April to May\u003c\/strong\u003e — courgettes are frost-tender and there is little benefit to sowing very early, as plants cannot go outside until after the last frost and large plants transplant less successfully than smaller ones. Sow seeds individually in 7–9cm pots, one seed per pot on its side approximately \u003cstrong\u003e2cm deep\u003c\/strong\u003e — sowing on the side rather than flat reduces the risk of the seed rotting at the tip. Maintain a temperature of \u003cstrong\u003e18–22°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. Germination is rapid, typically within \u003cstrong\u003e5–7 days\u003c\/strong\u003e. Grow on in a warm, bright position — courgette seedlings grow fast and need good light to prevent them becoming drawn and leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransplanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant out from \u003cstrong\u003elate May to early June\u003c\/strong\u003e after a thorough hardening-off period of at least ten days. Courgettes are very frost-sensitive — a single hard frost will kill a plant outright. Space plants \u003cstrong\u003e90cm apart\u003c\/strong\u003e in well-prepared, fertile soil enriched with plenty of well-rotted compost or manure. Courgettes are hungry, thirsty plants and the more organic matter in the soil, the better they perform. Planting through a black plastic or cardboard mulch suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and warms the soil — all of which improve performance significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCourgettes produce separate male and female flowers on the same plant — male flowers appear first and have a plain stem; female flowers follow and have a tiny immature fruit at the base. Both need to be open simultaneously for pollination to occur, which is achieved by bees visiting both. In a poor summer with low bee activity, or early in the season before the female flowers appear, fruit may fail to set — this is normal and resolves as the season progresses and more flowers open simultaneously. If pollination appears to be failing, transfer pollen from a male flower to a female flower using a small paintbrush or by removing the male flower and touching its centre to the female flower's centre directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding and Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater generously and consistently — courgettes have large leaves that transpire heavily in warm weather, and water stress causes bitterness in the fruits and reduces yields significantly. Water at the base of the plant rather than overhead to reduce the risk of powdery mildew. Once the first fruits have set, feed weekly with a high-potassium liquid fertiliser to support continued fruiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePick fruits at \u003cstrong\u003e15–20cm\u003c\/strong\u003e for the best flavour and texture — small courgettes are sweeter, more tender, and have a thinner skin than larger ones. Check plants every two to three days at peak season and remove any fruits that have escaped notice before they become marrows.

In a summer with low bee activity, the presence of Borage alongside the courgette can be the difference between a productive plant and a frustrating one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"green\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"companion-emoji\"\u003e🌿\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Basil Classic Italian Seeds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishybarnabeescottagegarden.com\/products\/basil-classic-italian-seeds\"\u003eBasil Classic Italian\u003c\/a\u003e: The Aromatic Companion.\u003c\/strong\u003e Basil is a traditional companion for all cucurbits — its aromatic volatile oils deter aphids, thrips, and whitefly from the soft foliage of the courgette plant, and its low, bushy habit fills the bare soil around the base of the courgette without competing for light. Practically, growing basil alongside courgette also means that the two finest summer vegetable ingredients for a simple, quickly cooked supper are always harvested together from the same patch — sliced courgette and torn basil with olive oil, lemon, and good cheese is one of the most effortless and most satisfying things the summer kitchen garden produces, requiring almost no cooking and almost no preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"yellow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"companion-emoji\"\u003e🌻\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Courgette Zucchini Seeds\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bishybarnabeescottagegarden.com\/products\/courgette-zucchini-seeds\"\u003eCourgette 'Zucchini'\u003c\/a\u003e: The Complete Courgette Pairing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Growing 'All Green Bush' alongside 'Zucchini' is the simplest way to extend and diversify the courgette harvest — the classic dark green fruits of 'All Green Bush' alongside the slightly more slender, mid-green Italian-type fruits of 'Zucchini', both harvested through the same July-to-October season but offering slight variation in fruit character, flavour, and culinary application.

One Plant Is Enough Tip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo pieces of advice define success with 'All Green Bush'. First, pick every two to three days without fail once the plant comes into production — a courgette left on the plant in warm July or August weather can double in size overnight, and a plant carrying large fruits stops producing new ones. Set a reminder if you need to; the difference between a courgette harvested at 15cm and a marrow discovered at 40cm is not just quality but the productivity of the plant for the rest of the season. Second, grow only one or two plants unless you are feeding a large household or have very willing neighbours — a single, well-grown 'All Green Bush' plant in good soil, watered and fed consistently, will produce thirty to fifty courgettes across the season. Two plants will produce more courgettes than most households can eat, cook, or give away. Three plants is an act of optimism that ends in August with courgettes on every available surface and a renewed appreciation for the concept of restraint.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"closing-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🥒 The Kitchen Garden's Most Generous Summer Vegetable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/em\u003e 'All Green Bush' is the courgette the kitchen garden was designed to grow — compact, reliable, abundantly productive, and delivering smooth dark green fruits of excellent flavour from July to the first frosts with a generosity that, once experienced, makes it a permanent fixture in any vegetable patch. Grow one plant for a household supply, two for abundance, and always alongside Borage to ensure the bees that the fruit set depends on are never far away. Pick regularly, pick young, and eat the same day — and discover that the courgette, grown this way, is one of the finest and most versatile vegetables the British summer kitchen garden produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53651273646407,"sku":"CRG-AGB","price":2.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/7051\/8343\/files\/Untitleddesign.jpg?v=1775331172","url":"https:\/\/naturalgrower.co.uk\/products\/courgette-all-green-bush","provider":"Natural Grower","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
