Stick a short bamboo cane in at a 45 degree angle in front of your Courgette plant, and train the plant stem to it, tying it in at intervals. This makes picking your courgettes much easier, you avoid getting scratched by the foliage when you harvest the fruits, and it allows more air to circulate around the plant itself, where powdery mildew is an annual problem.
