Courgette or Patisson (Cucurbita Pepo)

Patisson or Disk Zucchini (Curcubita Pepo): an ancient variety of zucchini cultivated by North American Natives for hundreds of years, imported into Europe only after 1591. Splendid as an ornamental, this plant produces disc-shaped fruits with a tasty, firm pulp, with a slight artichoke aftertaste.
As with all Cucurbita of the Pepo species (zucchini), the fruits should be eaten when they are still unripe. We recommend harvesting them when the diameter does not exceed 12 cm and the shape is still rounded, otherwise they become too tough for consumption.
To propagate from seeds, however, let the fruits of the best plants ripen until they are fully ripe, reaching up to 25 cm in diameter and a flatter shape with very pronounced edges.
Sow from March to June. Plants should be spaced at least 80 cm apart, with the same spacing between rows. Ready for consumption in 45-60 days.
