courgettes in containers

I have tried growing courgettes in big plastic pots, they needed watering every day and a good feed now and then but otherwise they did well and produced enough courgettes! I had two kinds "costata romanesco" and "tondo chiaro di nizza" one makes a round courgette perfect for stuffing.

I think personally they can grow in anything, but as they are like cukes and toms, they will need a hell of a lot of water - so really, yes go ahead, just water them every day.

Hello all, interesting question hoporus. I've been thinking about giving some yellow courgette seeds to a little girl who lives in a flat in a city but loves coming here and messing about in the mud. I grew some Soleil courgettes last year. The plants are quite compact and I thought that they might grow well in a pot on a big balcony. Lovely flowers in the morning for her and some eyecatching courgettes in the evening. Perfect plant for kids (quick, big and happening) that would certainly grow well in a big pot in my view.

I have grown courgettes in the black flower buckets that coop give away for nothing- grew fine for me, I watered them every few days but then again last summer wasnt known for being very dry. Grew a sweet pepper in this as well and had quite a few peppers from it, also tomatoes did well in these buckets

Hi,
I've often used containers for courgettes with great results.  They will need regular watering though.  I'd say have a go!
