Tiger Cross grows tasty striped fruits. It is British bred and has an AGM. It is prolific, uniform and disease resistant with a well behaved bush habit. You can use this as a dual purpose variety - if you pick it when it is small it makes a fine courgette.
To be an AGM winner means that this variety has been outstanding in trials: reliable and with great garden performance
SOW: inside in April & May in a pot per seed
GROW: keep moist and warm, ready to plant out when at 2/3 leaf stage. Harden off well before planting out. Keep plants weeded and well-watered, mulch if possible. Feed with an organic feed if they are not producing much fruit. Pick when about 30cm long. If you pick Tiger Cross when it is small it makes a fine courgette.
ENJOY: with a short fresh season they are good for freezing. To freeze: peel, cut into rings or dice, blanch, drain, dry & freeze. Cooked diced from frozen. The rings can be stuffed while frozen then baked in the usual way adding an extra 5-10 minutes cooking time or thaw them first.
